2.1.1Dindorf 3:74

Πρῶτον οὑν, ἐπειδήπερ αὐτοὶ τὰς ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν χρηστοτέρας φωνὰς ἀναλέγεσθαι εἰώθασι καὶ ταύτας διὰ στόματος ἀπομνημονεύειν, ἀντιπαραθῶμεν αὐτοῖς τὰς περὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν ἐξ αὐτῶν τῶν προφητειῶν ἀποδείξεις, παριστώσας ὡς ἄρα μυρίαι ὅσαι προρρήσεις ἀγαθὰ καὶ σωτήρια πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἐθέσπιζον, καὶ ὡς οὐδʼ ἄλλως ἔφασκον ἀποτελεσθήσεσθαι τὰ ἐπηγγελμένα τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἢ διὰ μόνης τῆς τοῦ Χριστοῦ παρουσίας.

Prōton houn, epeidēper autoi tas hyper autōn chrēstoteras phōnas analegesthai eiōthasi kai tautas dia stomatos apomnēmoneuein, antiparathōmen autois tas peri tōn ethnōn ex autōn tōn prophēteiōn apodeixeis, paristōsas hōs ara myriai hosai prorrēseis agatha kai sōtēria pasi tois ethnesin ethespizon, kai hōs oudʼ allōs ephaskon apotelesthēsesthai ta epēngelmena tois ethnesin ē dia monēs tēs tou Christou parousias.

First, then, since they are accustomed to gather the more favorable sayings about themselves and to recite them by heart, let us set against them the proofs about the nations from the prophecies themselves, showing that countless predictions foretold good and saving things for all the nations, and that they said the promises to the nations would be fulfilled in no other way than through the coming of Christ alone.

Notes and citation

Summary: Eusebius will set against Jewish proof-texts the many prophecies promising salvation to the nations through Christ.

2.1.2Dindorf 3:74

στήσαντες δὲ ἐνταῦθα τὸν λόγον, ἀποδεδειχότες ἂν εἴημεν ὡς οὐ μᾶλλον ἐκείνοις φάναι χρῆν ἢ ἡμῖν τὴν ἐπὶ τὸν Χριστὸν τοῦ θεοῦ προσδοκίαν ἁρμόττειν ἰσορρόπου δὲ Ἰουδαίοις καὶ Ἓλλησι τῆς τῶν ἐπηγγελμένων ἐλπίδος ἀποδειχθείσης, ὡς κατὰ τοῦτο μηδὲν τῶν ἐκ περιτομῆς λείπεσθαι τοὺς ἀπὸ τῶν ἐθνῶν διὰ Χριστοῦ σωθησομένους, ἐκ περιουσίας ἑξῆς ἐλέγξομεν, ὡς ἐπὶ τῇ τοῦ Χριστοῦ παρουσίᾳ καὶ τῇ τῶν ἐθνῶν κλήσει ἀπόπτωσιν παντελῆ καὶ ἀποβολὴν τοῦ παντὸς Ἰουδαίων ἔθνους τὰ θεῖα προαναφωνεῖ λόγια, βραχέσι μόνοις αὐτῶν καὶ ἀριθμῷ ληπτοῖς τὰ χρηστότερα θεσπίζοντα, καὶ ὡς ἁλώσεται αὐτῶν ἡ πόλις αὐτῷ ἱερῷ, πάντα τε τὰ σεμνὰ καθαιρεθήσεσθαι δηλοῦντα, ἃ καὶ ἔργοις πέφηνε δεδηλωμένα.

stēsantes de entautha ton logon, apodedeichotes an eiēmen hōs ou mallon ekeinois phanai chrēn ē hēmin tēn epi ton Christon tou theou prosdokian harmottein isorropou de Ioudaiois kai Hellēsi tēs tōn epēngelmenōn elpidos apodeichtheisēs, hōs kata touto mēden tōn ek peritomēs leipesthai tous apo tōn ethnōn dia Christou sōthēsomenous, ek periousias hexēs elenxomen, hōs epi tę̄ tou Christou parousią kai tę̄ tōn ethnōn klēsei apoptōsin pantelē kai apobolēn tou pantos Ioudaiōn ethnous ta theia proanaphōnei logia, brachesi monois autōn kai arithmǭ lēptois ta chrēstotera thespizonta, kai hōs halōsetai autōn hē polis autǭ hierǭ, panta te ta semna kathairethēsesthai dēlounta, ha kai ergois pephēne dedēlōmena.

If we stopped the argument there, we would have shown that the expectation of the Christ of God should be said to belong no more to them than to us. But when the hope of the promises has been shown to be equal for Jews and Greeks, so that in this respect those from the nations who will be saved through Christ fall in no way short of those of the circumcision, we shall go further and prove, over and above, that the divine oracles foretell, at the coming of Christ and the calling of the nations, the complete falling away and rejection of the whole Jewish nation, prophesying better things for only a few of them, easily counted; and that they show that their city will be captured, temple and all, and all their sacred things destroyed, which has plainly come to pass in fact.

Notes and citation

Summary: Eusebius will show that the promises are equal for Jews and Greeks, and further that the prophets foretold Israel’s rejection, apart from a remnant, and the fall of Jerusalem.

αὐτῷ ἱερῷ is read as “temple and all” (αὐτῷ τῷ ἱερῷ). Eusebius’s polemical thesis is translated as written.

How the sacred words prophesy together and at the same time, at the coming of Christ, both redemption from evils and enjoyment of good things for Israel, and on the other hand deprivation of good things and falling away from the worship of God, we shall explain at the proper time. Meanwhile let us go to the first point, selecting a few out of countless prophecies to prove what has been said.

Notes and citation

Summary: Eusebius will later explain how the prophecies foretell both redemption and rejection for Israel.

Since, then, they are accustomed to put forward to us the more favorable prophecies about themselves, as though what was foretold had been promised to them alone, it is time for us too to bring forward and set against them the promises about the nations, which are found as follows in their prophets. 1. From Genesis. That the nations of the earth will be blessed in the same manner as Abraham’s name.

Notes and citation

Summary: Eusebius begins a numbered collection of prophecies about the nations, starting with Genesis.

From here the digital text runs the numbered headings of Eusebius’s collection of testimonies into the end of the preceding section. προσηγορίας (“name”) may be a slip for a word meaning “piety”; translated as it stands.

2.1.5Dindorf 3:75

“‘Ο δὲ κύριος εἶπεν, οὐ μὴ κρύψω ἐγὼ ἀπὸ Ἀβραὰμ τοῦ παιδός μου ἃ ἐγὼ ποιῶ. Ἀβραὰμ γινόμενος ἔσται εἰς ἔθνος μέγα καὶ πολύ· καὶ ἐνευλογηθήσονται ἐν αὐτῷ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τῆς γῆς.” Κρύφιον καὶ λεληθὸς τοὺς πολλοὺς μυστήριον μὴ κρύψειν φησὶν ὁ χρησμὸς, ἀποκαλύψειν δὲ τῷ θεοφιλεῖ. τοῦτο δὲ ἦν τὸ περὶ τῆς τῶν ἐθνῶν ἁπάντων εὐλογίας, ὃ πάλαι μὲν κέκρυπτο διὰ τὸ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη κατὰ τοὺς τοῦ Ἀβραὰμ χρόνους ἀφάτῳ πλάνῃ δεισιδαιμονίας κεκρατῆσθαι, νυνὶ δὲ τοῦτο καθʼ ἡμὰς ἀναπέφανται, ὅτε διὰ τῆς τοῦ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν εὐαγγελικῆς διδασκαλίας τὸν αὐτὸν τῷ Ἀβραὰμ θεοσεβοῦντα τρόπον τῆς ἴσης αὐτῷ μετέχει εὐλογίας.

“‘O de kyrios eipen, ou mē krypsō egō apo Abraam tou paidos mou ha egō poiō.

“And the Lord said, I will not hide from Abraham my servant what I am doing. Abraham shall become a great and numerous nation, and in him all the nations of the earth shall be blessed.” The oracle says he will not hide a secret mystery unknown to the many, but will reveal it to the God-beloved man. This was the blessing of all the nations, which was hidden long ago because in Abraham’s time all the nations were held fast by unspeakable error and superstition; but now in our time it has come to light, when, through our Savior’s gospel teaching, whoever worships God in the same manner as Abraham shares in a blessing equal to his.

Gen 18:17–18 (quotation, high confidence)

Notes and citation

Summary: God revealed to Abraham the hidden mystery of the blessing of all nations, now fulfilled through the gospel.

That it was not possible for all the nations to live according to the legislation of Moses we have discussed most fully in the preceding book, so that no one should suppose the oracle was spoken about the proselytes among the Jews.

Notes and citation

Summary: The blessing cannot refer to Jewish proselytes, since the nations could not keep the law.

Having established there at the same time that the blessing prophesied to Abraham concerning all the nations would apply only to those from all the nations who come through Christ, we will refer those eager to learn to that discussion now too. 2. From the same. That all the nations of the earth will be blessed in the seed that would come forth by succession from Isaac.

Notes and citation

Summary: The blessing belongs to those from all nations who come through Christ; next heading: Isaac’s seed.

And the Lord, giving an oracle to Isaac, says among other things this also: “And I will establish my oath to Abraham your father, and I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and I will give to your seed all this land, and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed.”

Therefore they are blessed in return, enjoying a blessing equal to those they bless, according to the word of God that said to Abraham: “Those who bless you are blessed.” 3. From the same.

On the surface, only one nation, the Jewish, arose from Jacob. How then would the oracle be true, speaking in the plural? But since the Christ of God, born of Jacob’s seed, gathered many gatherings of nations through his gospel teaching, the prophecy has fittingly been fulfilled in him and through him already before, and will be still more hereafter. 4. From Deuteronomy. Declaration of the godly gladness of the nations.

Notes and citation

Summary: The many gatherings of nations from Jacob are the churches gathered by Christ; next heading: Deuteronomy.

The point was to show those of the circumcision, who boast greatly of themselves and take pride in God’s having preferred them alone to the other nations and counted them alone worthy of the divine promises, that nothing better than all the others has been promised to them specially in the divine pledges. Since, then, the nations have been shown to be counted worthy of the divine promises, come, let us now see that through which the nations are said to attain God’s calling and the divine promises; for it is good to see also the cause said to procure good things for the nations.

Notes and citation

Summary: Having shown that the nations share the promises, Eusebius turns to their cause.

What would this be but the coming of Christ, through whom those of the circumcision also acknowledge that their own redemption will come? We must show, then, that the expectation of the calling of the nations too was nothing other than the Christ of God himself, who would appear as Savior not only to the Jews but to all the nations. For now I will use bare testimonies of the prophets without any interpretation, intending to interpret each one at length at leisure, when, with God, having collected all the predictions about the nations together, I come to interpret them.

Notes and citation

Summary: The cause is Christ’s coming; Eusebius will list bare testimonies now and interpret them later.

12. From Psalm 2. Declaration of the plot against Christ, and that he is proclaimed Son of God, and receives the nations as an inheritance from the Father. “Why did the nations rage, and the peoples devise vain things?

To these he adds: “The Lord said to me, You are my Son; today I have begotten you.

“Behold my servant, I will uphold him; my chosen one, my soul has accepted him. I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth judgment to the nations. He will not cry out, nor lift up his voice, nor will his voice be heard outside. A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoking wick he will not quench; but he will bring forth judgment to truth. He will shine out and not be broken, until he establishes judgment on the earth; and in his name the nations will hope.”

Your strength and your treasures I will give for plunder, and your high places because of your sins in all your borders. And you shall be left alone and brought low from your inheritance which I gave you.
