Annotation CCCXXXIV

”Of the true tabernacle, which God fixed, and not man.” — Hebrews 8:2

The state and figure of heaven.

Chrysostom, [in] the fourteenth homily on the Hebrews, hints that heaven is neither mobile nor spherical. Theodoret, in the commentaries, follows the same opinion. Theophylact, in the commentaries: “HENCE (he says) observe, according to the divine John Chrysostom, that heaven is neither round, nor mobile: for both [these things] he takes away, [by] that which he says, ‘God fixed [it].’” See Annotations three and nine of the fifth book.
