Eusebius’s Ecclesiastical History
An Intimate Review
Pt 3
By Lawrence DeMetrius

Eusebius reiterates that false allegories were used to misinterpret divinely inspired words. This wickedness has been practiced since the great fall in Eden.
It is simply acknowledging divinely inspired words, then purposely applying false meaning to it, especially to lead one into believing that Yahweh limits knowledge because HE does not want mortals to perceive themselves as equal to HIM in greatness. It is also purposed to subtly lead souls into disobeying Yahweh’s directives. [Gen 3:1-6] In fact, Yahweh is delighted to impart wisdom abundantly to those who seek HIM for it in faith. [Jam 1:5-8; Heb 11:1, 6] Teaching false allegories is a demonically influenced practice that Enoch warned about. Eusebius notes that spiritual whippings can result in physical bruises. He notes that there is a pseudo glossolalia. Everyone who speaks in an unknown tongue does not do so by unction of the Holy Ghost. There are some who babble and speak strange utterances that are demonically invoked. The Upper Room experience clarifies that unknown tongues spoken by divine unction are of earthly languages i.e., Spanish, Chinese, English etc. They are never strange babblings or utterances. [Acts 2:1-13] Eusebius explains that obvious heresies are blatant disregard for Yahweh, HIS directives and HIS Christ. However, the most cunning heresies actually regard Christ, but apply erroneous allegories to His teachings. False Christian theologies of today are spawns of erroneous Christian teachings of the ancient past.

Book 6 is entitled Origen and Atrocities at Alexandria. It covers the reigning periods of Roman emperors Septimius Severus to Decius. The book primarily focuses on unspeakable persecutions that took place in Alexandria, Egypt. Victims of these crimes included youth who were wholeheartedly devoted to Yahweh through Christ. This gives credence to the idea that young people can and do live godly lives unto THE LORD. Eusebius writes of Origin, who was one of the greatest influencers of Christ in his time. Origin lived and taught in a manner that won many to the Christian Faith. Eusebius writes that Apostle Jude expounded upon the anti-Christs of his day.
These are likely those he wrote about in his epistle, describing them as beautiful clouds that were void of life-giving rain. [Jude vs 12] They are false witnesses who have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof. [II Tim 3:5]
Eusebius writes that Christians performed miracles like changing water to oil and reiterates that Yahweh does avenge HIS own. [Rm 12:17] He wrote that it was The Original Apostles of Christ who admonished born-again believers to openly expose and reject false Christian doctrines. Eusebius also expressed that it has always been proper for one to operate and remain in the calling they were appointed to by the Holy Ghost. Thus, one should never be pressured into an office they know they are not divinely called to operate in. He reports of a heretical sect known as The Ebionites, who taught that Joseph, the husband of the mother of Christ, was Christ’s biological father. He reports that Hermeneutics and use of various translations of the Holy Scriptures, were utilized during early Christendom as they are today. He mentions that secular education was highly valued by some theologians of his day. He writes of devils like Porphyry, who was a famous philosopher who did his best to discredit the ancient writings of Yahweh’s prophets and those who taught them. Porphyry is an example of collegian people who become puffed up because of their educational status, especially those who use their worldly knowledge to defame Yahweh’s Word. Eusebius again reiterates the use of false allegories, used to misinterpret the literal meaning of the holy scriptures. He notes that everything Jesus Christ prophesied concerning false Christs and false Christian doctrines, were fulfilled during early Christendom. He reports that it has always been proper protocol for Christian teachers to be ordained by Christian Fathers. However, some managed to be appointed to the office of Christian teacher outside of this protocol. He notes that The Book of Maccabees was originally an Old Testament Book, that was excluded from the Bible Canon now embraced by most of the Western world. He writes that Origin the great teacher believed that Apostle John, the disciple Jesus loved, wrote the epistles of Revelation and I John. He also notes that many believed that Apostle Paul was the author of the epistle of Hebrews. Others believed it was written by Apostle Luke. Eusebius clarifies that not all Christians held up well under the pressures of persecution. Harsh persecutions were primarily geared toward the most prominent Christian leaders of the day, in efforts to discourage people from continuing in or embracing the Christian Faith. During First Century Rome, it was considered right and good to persecute and kill those who did not pay homage to nationally idols.
In fact, Roman Emperor Decius is an example of a paganist who believed that national security rested upon sacrilege to idol gods. Therefore, to him and many who shared his view, Christians were a threat to national security, power, influence, and wealth.

Book 7 is entitled Dionysius and Dissent. It covers the reigning periods of Roman emperors Gallus to Diocletian. The book recaps the persecutions that many Christians endured due to their refusal to practice idolatry. However, it is important to note that no such persecution happened unless Yahweh permitted it to. Book 7 tells of how Lucifer used avarice to employ nonbelievers who desired high offices of recognition and power to persecute Christians. In 251 A.D. Emperor Gallus banished Christians who actually prayed for his success, which occurred with great manifestations. Needless to say, he later regretted his actions. Eusebius writes of those who once lived according to and taught sound Christian doctrine, but later turn therefrom to embrace and publish erroneous ones. Their impiety made true Christian teachers appear evil to the general public. Blessedly, their influence swayed only the simplest of minds and weakest of hearts through fear, intimidation and filthy lucre. Eusebius also reiterates the heresy of Sabellianism, which denounces the idea of THE TRINITY or TRIUNE GODHEAD.
