THEOSISMaximus the Confessor
Every leader under the spiritual authority of King David, who represents our Lord Jesus, engages in combat against the protective powers, striking them down in the valley of Soleil. This valley symbolizes the flesh, which, due to disobedience, has become a wretched land filled with passions. Within this realm, every devout and God-fearing individual confronts the constraints of nature and time through wisdom and reflection. Alternatively, in such individuals, the elevated nature of their virtues and understanding ensures that the unruly desires of the soul are not governed by the dictates of nature and time.
