Introductory Note to Irenæus Against Heresies

[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.

[4719] The five following chapters were omitted in the earlier editions, but added by Feuardentius. Most mss., too, did not contain them. It is probable that the scribes of the middle ages rejected them on account of their inculcating millenarian notions, which had been long extinct in the Church. Quotations from these five chapters have been collected by Harvey from Syriac and Armenian mss. lately come to light.

Chapter XXXII.—In that flesh in which the saints have suffered so many afflictions, they shall receive the fruits of their labours; especially since all creation waits for this, and God promises it to Abraham and his seed.

[4720] Or, “gradually to comprehend God.”

[4721] Rom. viii. 19, etc.

[4722] Gen. xiii. 13, 14.
