Description
Summary:The antagonism of two powers set against each other and ideas of predestination characterize 2 Cor 4,4, in a way similar to what we find in 1QS iii–iv. In this confrontation, Christ plays the role which in 1 QS iii–iv is assigned to the ‘Prince of Light’. Christ’s title, ei)kw_n tou= qeou= is meant to characterize the glorified Christ’s unique relation to God and to stress that henceforth Christ’s rightful place is at the throne of God; ei)kw_n tou= qeou= further shows that Christ from now on acts as representative of the kingdom of God, against the satanic counter-power. 2 Cor 4,6, gives reasons for this Christology by explaining the Damascus-vision of Paul as a vision of the exalted Christ raised to the throne of God, bearer of the divine glory.
