But when the fullness of time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, so that the Son of God may put on manhood from the Virgin and may be demonstrated as being the Son of God and the Son of Man.</p><p>\"And he opened,\" he says, \"my mouth and I spoke to him who stood before me, 'Lord in your appearance my insides were turned within me and I have no strength,'\" [Daniel 10:16] for it is necessary that the advent of the Lord happened upon the people above and below, so that those below may be able to come to those above.<br/><i>— Commentary on Daniel 4.39.4-6</i></p><p><b>Jerome</b>: Verse 16. \"O my lord, at the sight of thee my joints are loosed...\" Theodotion interprets it this way, in accordance with what we read in the One Hundred and Second Psalm: \"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name.\" (Psalms 103:1) For our inward nature must direct its gaze without, before we deserve to behold a vision of God; and when we actually have beheld a vision of God, then our inward nature is converted within us and we become wholly of the number of those concerning whom it is written in another Psalm: \"All the glory of the daughter of kings is within, in golden borders\" (Psalms 45:13).<br/><i>— St. Jerome, Commentary on Daniel, CHAPTER TEN</i></p><p><b>John Chrysostom</b>: Let those Anomoeans listen who, out of curiosity, are investigating into the essence of the Lord of angels. Daniel, to whom the eyes of the lions showed reverence, Daniel, who had a more than human power in his human body, could not endure the presence of his fellow servant but lay on the ground before the angel and could not breathe. For he said, \"My bowels were turned within me at what I saw, and no breath was left in me.\" But these Anomoeans, who are so far removed from the virtue of that just man, profess to know with all exactness the highest and first of essences, the very essence of God, who has created myriads of these angels. And yet Daniel did not have the strength to look on a single one of them.<br/><i>— AGAINST THE ANOMOEANS 3:23</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"16b263a2fac4ecbddf66bf22b91eed50097986376763d54889cc25e3f7e9a8b8","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":3539,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"4004105178bc16ced3e3c645761a9f2b9d34272260f031b16a15da9f77256341","translator":null,"work":null}
