Library Eusebius of Caesarea On Ecclesiastical Theology

Chapter 9: How he dared to say that at the end of the universe the Saviour’s flesh would be left deserted by the Word

And he repeats the same thing elsewhere, saying (Nr. 104):

“If, then, Paul said that in the time of the restoration (ἀποκατάστασις) of all things even the creation itself will be changed from slavery into freedom (for he says, ‘that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God’), how could the form of the servant which the Word assumed, being the form of a servant, still be with the Word?”
