309. Behold the Lion hath prevailed. That this signifies that the Lord from His own power subjugated the hells, and reduced all things there and in the heavens to order, appears from the signification of prevailing, when said of the Lord, that is, that when He was in the world He subjugated the hells, and reduced all things there and in the heavens to order, and this by temptations admitted into His Human, and then by continual victories. (Concerning which see the 14:10, 11).
And elsewhere in the same:
"Verily I say unto you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do; for whatsoever things he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. As the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them, even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. As the Father hath life in Himself, so also hath He given to the Son to have life in Himself" (5:19, 21, 26).
Because the Divine, which the Lord calls the Father, was His own Divine, and not another Divine, therefore it is evident that whatever He did from the Father, and also whatever [He did] from the Human, which He calls the Son, He did from Himself; and thus that He did all things by His own power, because [He did them] from what was His own.
309. Behold, the Lion hath overcome, signifies that the Lord from His own power subjugated the hells, and reduced all things there and in the heavens to order. This is evident from the signification of "overcoming," when predicated of the Lord, namely, that when He was in the world He subjugated the hells, and reduced all things there and in the heavens to order, and this by temptations admitted into His Human, and then by continual victories (of which see in John 14:10-11).
And elsewhere in the same:
Verily I say unto you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, except what He seeth the Father doing; for whatever things He doeth, these also the Son doeth in like manner. As the Father raiseth up the dead and quickeneth them, even so the Son quickeneth whom He will. As the Father hath life in Himself, so also gave He to the Son to have life in Himself (John 5:19, 21, 26).
As the Divine, which the Lord calls "the Father," was His Divine, and not another Divine, it can be seen that whatever He did from the Father, as well as whatever He did from the Human which He calls "the Son," He did from Himself; and thus that He did all things by His own power, since He did them from what was His.
309. "Ecce vicit Leo." - Quod significet Dominum, quod ex propria potentia subjugaverit inferna, et redegerit omnia ibi et in caelis in ordinem, constat ex significatione "vincere", cum de Domino, quod, cum in mundo fuit, subjugaverit inferna, ac redegerit ibi et in caelis omnia in ordinem, et hoc per tentationes in Humanum suum admissas et per continuas tunc victorias (de qua re videatur in Doctrina Novae Hierosolymae, n. 293, 294, 301, 302); hoc itaque significatur per "vincere", cum de Domino: et quia Dominus illa fecerat ex propria potentia, dicitur "Leo", nam "leo" significat potentiam (videatur supra, n. 278). Quod Dominus illa fecerit ex propria potentia, notum est ex Verbo; sed quia pauci id sciunt, velim aliquid de eo dicere. Fecit id Dominus ex Divino, quod in Ipso ex conceptione erat, quod erat Ipsi sicut anima est homini ex patre; et anima cujusvis operatur per corpus, corpus enim est ejus obedientia. Divinum, quod Ipsi inerat ex conceptione, erat suum Divinum, quod in Fide Athanasiana dicitur aequale Divino quod ibi Pater vocatur; dicitur enim,
Quod sicut Pater etiam Filius, infinitus, increatus, aeternus, omnipotens, Deus, Dominus, et quod nemo Eorum maximus et minimus, nec primus et ultimus, sed prorsus aequales;
et quoque dicitur,
Quod Divinum et Humanum Domini non sint duo, sed unica Persona, et quod sicut anima et corpus faciunt unum hominem, ita Divinum et Humanum est unus Christus.
Inde sciri potest, etiam ab illis qui fidem habent Athanasio, quod Dominus ex propria potentia, quia ex suo Divino, illa fecerit. Ex his manifeste constare potest quomodo intelligenda sunt quae Dominus dicit apud Johannem,
"Pater, qui in Me manet, Ipse facit opera; credite Mihi quod Ego in Patre, et Pater in Me " (14:10, 11);
et alibi apud eundem,
"Amen dico Vobis, Non potest Filius facere quicquam a Se Ipso, nisi quid viderit Patrem facientem; quae namque Ipse facit, haec etiam Filius similiter facit:.... quemadmodum Pater suscitat mortuos et vivificat, ita etiam Filius quos vult vivificat;.... quemadmodum Pater habet vitam in Se Ipso, ita etiam dedit Filio vitam habere in Se Ipso" (5:19, 21, 26);
quia Divinum, quod Dominus vocat "Patrem", fuit suum Divinum, et non aliud Divinum, inde constare potest, quod quicquid ex Patre fecerat ex Se fecerit, et quoque quicquid ex Humano, quod vocat "Filium"; et sic quod omnia, quia ex suo, ex propria potentia fecerit.
