We are of opinion, therefore, that these words are spoken of a certain angel who had received the office of governing the nation of the Tyrians, and to whom also their souls had been entrusted to be taken care of. But what Tyre, or what souls of Tyrians, we ought to understand, whether that Tyre which is situated within the boundaries of the province of Phœnicia, or some other of which, this one which we know on earth is the model; and the souls of the Tyrians, whether they are those of the former or those which belong to that Tyre which is spiritually understood, does not seem to be a matter requiting examination in this place; lest perhaps we should appear to investigate subjects of so much mystery and importance in a cursory manner, whereas they demand a labour and work of their own.(Book I, Chapter 5, Part 4)

I am prepared to abide with more ambiguity.

There are, as Origen agrees, matters of much mystery. Though he seems more confident than I that with sufficient labor he might demystify.

It is my habit to read scripture for personal critique and guidance. So where Origen finds an angelic Power or Principality, I am more inclined to read how I have forsaken my greatest gifts, wandered from my true purpose, and the consequence of my choosing.

I am not sure that Origen is wrong. I appreciate his opinion. I am not troubled by uncertainty.

Mostly I value the encouragement to self-critique.
