Introductory Note to Irenæus Against Heresies

[4660] Matt. xvii. 27.

[4661] [Well says Benjamin Franklin: “He who shall introduce into public affairs the principles of primitive Christianity will change the face of the world.” See Bancroft, Hist. U.S., vol. ix. p. 492.]

[4662] Eph. ii. 2.

[4663] Luke x. 19.

Chapter XXV.—The fraud, pride, and tyrannical kingdom of Antichrist, as described by Daniel and Paul.

[4664] Matt. xxiv. 15, 21.

[4665] Dan. vii. 8, etc.

[4666] Dan. vii. 23, etc.

[4667] 2 Thess. ii. 8.

[4668] John v. 43.

[4669] Luke xviii. 2, etc.

[4670] This may refer to Antiochus Epiphanes, Antichrist’s prototype, who offered swine upon the altar in the temple at Jerusalem. The LXX. version has, ἐδόθη ἐπὶ τὴν θυσίαν ἁμαρτία, i.e., sin has been given against (or, upon) the sacrifice.

[4671] Dan. viii. 12.

[4672] Dan. viii. 23, etc.

[4673] Dan. ix. 27.

[4674] Matt. xxiv. 15.

[4675] The mss. have “præmisit,” but Harvey suggests “promisit,” which we have adopted.

Chapter XXVI.—John and Daniel have predicted the dissolution and desolation of the Roman Empire, which shall precede the end of the world and the eternal kingdom of Christ. The Gnostics are refuted, those tools of Satan, who invent another Father different from the Creator.

[4676] Rev. xvii. 12, etc.

[4677] Matt. xii. 25.

[4678] Dan. ii. 33, 34.

[4679] Dan. ii. 41, 42.

[4680] Dan. ii. 42, 43.
