Dialogue with Trypho 36.5
Summary: Psalm 24 depicts Christ's ascension through the gates of heaven.
Greek text · Archambault 1:164
Κύριος οὖν τῶν δυνάμεων ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ Σολομὼν ἀποδέδεικται· ἀλλὰ ὁ ἡμέτερος Χριστὸς ὅτε ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀνέστη καὶ ἀνέβαινεν εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν, κελεύονται οἱ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς ταχθέντες ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ ἄρχοντες ἀνοῖξαι τὰς πύλας τῶν οὐρανῶν, ἵνα εἰσέλθῃ οὗτος ὅς ἐστι βασιλεὺς τῆς δόξης, καὶ ἀναβὰς καθίσῃ ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ πατρός, ἕως ἂν θῇ τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ, ὡς διὰ τοῦ ἄλλου ψαλμοῦ δεδήλωται.
English · Claude translation
“It has been shown, then, that Solomon is not the Lord of hosts; but when our Christ rose from the dead and was going up into heaven, the rulers appointed by God in the heavens are commanded to open the gates of the heavens, so that he who is King of glory may enter, and, having gone up, sit at the right hand of the Father until he makes his enemies the footstool of his feet, as has been shown through the other psalm.
