Cyril of Alexandria: Fragments on Matthew · §242

Matthew 24:29

How will they not shudder? For as heaven and earth are re-elemented toward what seems good to God (it is not possible to say something precise in such matters), the sun and the moon will be darkened, and the stars will fall like flowers, while the one who created them re-elements them again as he wills; the elements themselves will also be disturbed. For as humanity is renewed, the creation made because of the human is also recapitulated and co-created.

Greek

Καὶ τίνες ἂν εἶεν οὗτοι; τῶν ἁγίων ἀποστόλων ὁ χορός, οἱ τῆς καινῆς διαθήκης ἱερουργοὶ καὶ διδάσκαλοι.
