Introductory Note to Irenæus Against Heresies

[4698] Isa. xl. 15.

[4699] Matt. xxiv. 21.

Chapter XXX.—Although certain as to the number of the name of Antichrist, yet we should come to no rash conclusions as to the name itself, because this number is capable of being fitted to many names. Reasons for this point being reserved by the Holy Spirit. Antichrist’s reign and death.

[4700] ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς σπουδαίοις καὶ ἀρχαίοις ἀντιγράφοις This passage is interesting, as showing how very soon the autographs of the New Testament must have perished, and various readings crept into the mss. of the canonical books.

[4701] That is, Ξ into ΕΙ, according to Harvey, who considers the whole of this clause as an evident interpolation. It does not occur in the Greek here preserved by Eusebius (Hist. Eccl., v. 8).

[4702] Rev. xxii. 19.

[4703] 1 Thess. v. 3.

[4704] Jer. viii. 16.

[4705] Rev. vii. 5-7. [The Danites (though not all) corrupted the Hebrew church and the Levitical priesthood, by image-worship, (Judg. xviii.), and forfeited the blessings of the old covenant.]

[4706] [A very pregnant passage, as has often been noted. But let us imitate the pious reticence with which this section concludes.]

[4707] Massuet here quotes Cicero and Ovid in proof of the sun being termed Titan. The Titans waged war against the gods, to avenge themselves upon Saturn.

[4708] Rev. xvii. 8.

[4709] Matt. viii. 11.

Chapter XXXI.—The preservation of our bodies is confirmed by the resurrection and ascension of Christ: the souls of the saints during the intermediate period are in a state of expectation of that time when they shall receive their perfect and consummated glory.

[4710] See the note, book iii. xx. 4.

[4711] Matt. xi. 40.

[4712] Eph. iv. 9.

[4713] Ps. lxxxvi. 23.

[4714] John xx. 17.

[4715] Eph. iv. 9.

[4716] John xx. 20, 27.

[4717] Ps. xxiii. 4.

[4718] Luke vi. 40.
