And the same says David again: “Lift up your gates, ye rulers; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting gates, and the King of glory shall come in.” For the everlasting gates are the heavens. But because the Word descended invisible to created things, He was not made known in His descent to them. Because the Word was made flesh, He was visible in His ascension; and, when the powers saw Him, the angels below cried out to those who were on the firmament: “Lift up your gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting gates, that the King of glory may come in.” And when they marvelled and said: “Who is this?” those who had already seen Him testified a second time: “The Lord strong and mighty, he is the King of glory.”

And being raised from the dead and exalted at the Father’s right hand, He awaits the time appointed by the Father for the judgment, when all enemies shall be put under Him. Now the enemies are all those who were found in apostasy, angels and archangels and powers and thrones, who despised the truth. And the prophet David himself says thus: “The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.” And that He ascended thither, whence He had come down, David says: “From the end of heaven is his going forth, and his cessation even at the end of heaven.” Then he signifies his judgment: “And there is none that shall be hid from his heat.” — Paragraphs 84 and 85.
