And what are we to say regarding the prophecies of\r\nChrist in the Psalms, there being a certain ode with the\r\nsuperscription “For the Beloved,”<a id=\"r811\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f811\"><sup>[811]</sup></a> whose “tongue” is said\r\nto be the “pen of a ready writer, who is fairer than the\r\nsons of men,” since “grace was poured on His lips?” For a\r\nproof that grace was poured on His lips is this, that although\r\nthe period of His teaching was short—for He taught somewhere\r\nabout a year and a few months—the world has been\r\nfilled with His teaching, and with the worship of God\r\n[established] through Him. For there arose “in His days\r\nrighteousness and abundance of peace,”<a id=\"r812\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f812\"><sup>[812]</sup></a> which abides until\r\nthe consummation, which has been called the taking away\r\nof the moon; and He continues “ruling from sea to sea, and\r\nfrom the rivers to the ends of the earth.”<a id=\"r813\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f813\"><sup>[813]</sup></a> And to the house\r\nof David has been given a sign: for the Virgin bore, and\r\nwas pregnant,<a id=\"r814\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f814\"><sup>[814]</sup></a> and brought forth a son, and His name is\r\nEmmanuel, which is, “God with us;” and as the same prophet\r\nsays, the prediction has been fulfilled, “God [is] with us;\r\nknow it, O nations, and be overcome; ye who are strong,\r\nbe vanquished:”<a id=\"r815\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f815\"><sup>[815]</sup></a> for we of the heathen have been overcome\r\nand vanquished, we who have been taken by the grace of His\r\nteaching. The place also of His birth has been foretold in\r\n[the prophecies of] Micah: “For thou, Bethlehem,” he says,\r\n“land of Judah, art by no means the least among the rulers\r\nof Judah; for out of thee shall come forth a Ruler, who shall\r\nrule my people Israel.”<a id=\"r816\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f816\"><sup>[816]</sup></a> And according to Daniel, seventy\r\nweeks were fulfilled until [the coming of] Christ the Ruler.<a id=\"r817\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f817\"><sup>[817]</sup></a>\r\nAnd He came, who, according to Job,<a id=\"r818\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f818\"><sup>[818]</sup></a> has subdued the great\r\nfish,<a id=\"r819\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f819\"><sup>[819]</sup></a> and has given power to His true disciples to tread upon\r\nserpents and scorpions, and all the power of the enemy,<a id=\"r820\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f820\"><sup>[820]</sup></a>\r\nwithout sustaining any injury from them. And let one\r\nnotice also the universal advent of the apostles sent by Jesus\r\nto announce the gospel, and he will see both that the undertaking\r\nwas beyond human power, and that the commandment\r\ncame from God. And if we examine how men, on hearing\r\nnew doctrines, and strange words, yielded themselves up to\r\nthese teachers, being overcome, amid the very desire to plot\r\nagainst them, by a divine power that watched over these\r\n[teachers], we shall not be incredulous as to whether they\r\nalso wrought miracles, God bearing witness to their words\r\nboth by signs, and wonders, and divers miracles.</p>","headings":["The Writings of Origen, Vol. 1 of 2","ORIGEN DE PRINCIPIIS.","BOOK IV.","FROM THE GREEK."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70561-paragraph-296"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"c38a02f334b96706207fe8ee4485b7e168765020850d1d6496eeec999f41d598","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 1 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie"],"edition_year":1869,"explicit_reference_candidates":[{"book":"ISA","chapter":8,"kind":"unreviewed","source_notation":"Isa. viii. 8","verse":8,"verse_end":8}],"headings":[],"id":"pg70561-f815","license_url":"https://www.gutenberg.org/policy/license.html","public_import_allowed":false,"record_kind":"original-editor-translator-note","review_required":["work and recension attribution","original-work chronology","Bible reference numbering and citation kind","English edition rights and attribution"],"review_status":"needs_review","rights_evidence":"Project Gutenberg metadata: Public domain in the USA.
