Gregory of Nyssa, on Eccl 3:8
Gregory of Nyssa · c. A.D. 335–395
Eccl 3:8 · Douay-Rheims
“A time of love, and a time of hatred. A time of war, and a time of peace.”
On this verse:
“If we have learned, then, whom we should go to war with and how to carry on the fight, we must also learn the other part of the lesson, with whom the Scripture solemnly warns us to make a peaceful alliance. What is the good army, with which I am to join forces through peace? Who is the king of such an army? It is clear, from what we are taught by the inspired Scriptures, that it is the array of the angels of the host of heaven.”
