Gregory of Nazianzus, on Judg 13:22
Gregory of Nazianzus · A.D. 329–390
Judg 13:22 · Douay-Rheims
“And he said to his wife: We shall certainly die, because we have seen God.”
On this verse:
“Must you not show respect for Manoah, the Old Testament judge.… Manoah was overwhelmed by the sight of God in a vision. "Wife," he said, "we are lost, we have seen God"—meaning by this that even a vision of God is too much for human beings, let alone God's nature.”
