Your next objection is, that in this writing Daniel\r\nis said to have been seized by the Spirit, and to have cried\r\nout that the sentence was unjust; while in that writing of\r\nhis which is universally received he is represented as prophesying\r\nin quite another manner, by visions and dreams,\r\nand an angel appearing to him, but never by prophetic inspiration.\r\nYou seem to me to pay too little heed to the words,\r\n“At sundry times, and in divers manners, God spake in time\r\npast unto the fathers by the prophets.”<a id=\"r1100\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f1100\"><sup>[1100]</sup></a> This is true not\r\nonly in the general, but also of individuals.

Of dreams from God he speaks\r\nthus: “And it came to pass, at the time that the cattle conceived,\r\nthat I saw them before my eyes in a dream, and,\r\nbehold, the rams and he-goats which leaped upon the sheep\r\nand the goats, white-spotted, and speckled, and grisled. And\r\nthe angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob.\r\nAnd I said, What is it? And he said, Lift up thine eyes\r\nand see, the goats and rams leaping on the goats and sheep,\r\nwhite-spotted, and speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all\r\nthat Laban doeth unto thee. I am God, who appeared unto\r\nthee in the place of God, where thou anointedst to me there\r\na pillar, and vowed a vow there to me: now arise, get thee\r\nout from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.”<a id=\"r1101\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f1101\"><sup>[1101]</sup></a></p>","headings":["The Writings of Origen, Vol. 1 of 2","LETTERS.","A LETTER FROM ORIGEN TO AFRICANUS."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70561-paragraph-372"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"eafd0346bff5d22ac8d5212adfd5c91f9a2d1389a9a46d7abed6015e08ee4b74","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 1 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie"],"edition_year":1869,"explicit_reference_candidates":[{"book":"HEB","chapter":1,"kind":"unreviewed","source_notation":"Heb. i. 1","verse":1,"verse_end":1}],"headings":[],"id":"pg70561-f1100","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.
