Howdoesmanknowthe existenceofthehypostatic union?

Itisnotthefruitofhumanreasonorspeculation; itisarevealedtruth.Itis theteachingoftheCatholic ChurchmadeknownbyrevelationfromGodandmay besummedupthus:The humannatureofChrist,althoughatruehumannature,completeandexisting, doesnotconstituteahuman persondistinctfromthe SonofGod.TheonepersonofChrististheDivine PersonoftheWord,who, subsistingeternallyinthe divinenature,inthefulness oftimetookuponHimselfa humannatureandthusis bothtrulyGodandtruly man.

Hypostaticunionhasreferencetothedoctrineof theIncarnationandisused bytheologianstoexpress themysterythatChristis oneDivinePersonwhohas twonatures,ahumananda divinenature,unitedinone DivinePerson,ahypostatic union.Thetermhypostatic unioninconnectionwiththe IncarnationoftheSecond PersonoftheBlessedTrinitywasfirstusedbySt. CyrilofAlexandriainhis defenceofthetruthand realityoftheunionofthe divineandhumannaturein Christagainsttheheresyof theNestorians.

Matt.viii,30,describing anexorcismbyChrist, says:"Notfarfromthem therewasaherdofmany swine,feeding.Andthe devilskeptentreatingHim. saying:Ifthoucastusout, sendusintotheherdof swine.AndHesaidtothem: Go!Andtheycameoutand enteredintotheswine... thewholeherdrusheddown thecliffintothesea,and perishedinthewater."Immediatelybeforethis,the devilshadcriedoutto Christ:"HastThoucome heretotormentusbefort thetime?"This"time" meanswhentheywereto becastintotheactual prisonofhellforever.The devilsknewthat,forthe present,Christcould.under theplanofGod,either allowthemtostayonearth orcastthemintohell.They preferredtheformer,though thepainofhellwouldbe withthemineitherplace: neverthelesstobeinthe placeofhellwouldaddimprisonmenttotheirpain.
