Works Hippolytus of Rome (170-235) In initium Isaiae (fragmentum) On the Prophet Isaiah

II.

From the Discourse of St. Hippolytus on the beginning of Isaiah. 1

Under Egypt he meant the world, and under things made with hands its idolatry, and under the shaking its subversion and dissolution. 2 And the Lord, the Word, he represented as upon a light cloud, referring to that most pure tabernacle, in which setting up His throne, our Lord Jesus Christ came into the world to shake error.

  2. The text is evidently corrupt: Kurion de ton Logon, nephelen de kouphen to katharotaton skenos, etc. The reference must be to ch. xix. 1. ↩
