I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.
Read Chapter 10
Didymus the Blind
AD 398
Those who have come from paganism to the gospel—those who were slaves of desire, slaves of sin, slaves of the devil and of death—have become riders on horseback. About them it is said that, in the future, they will ride on divine words like on horses.
By the name horse is understood temporal dignity, as Solomon witnesses, who says, “I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.” For everyone who sins is the servant of sin, and servants are upon horses when sinners are elated with the dignities of the present life. .
