Abstract: 
The antagonism of two powers set against each other and ideas of predestination characterize 2 Corinthians 4,4, in a way similar to what we find in 1QS iii-iv is assigned to the "Prince of Light". Christ's title, "Eikon tou Theou" is meant to characterize the glorified Christ's unique relation to God and to stress that henceforth Christ's rightful place is at the throne of God; "Eikon tou Theou" further shows that Christ from now on acts as representative of the kingdom of god, against the satanic counter-power. 2 Corinthians 4,6, gives reason for this christology by explaining the Damascus-vision of Paul as a vision of the exalted Christ raised to the throne of god, bearer of the divine glory.
