Mooseksen kirja 23:32

Verse 32. And in this state there is a foretaste of heavenly rest and peace, and the sincere acknowledgement that man of himself is nothing but evil; and this is effected when the conjunction of faith with charity is about to take place in the obscurity arising out of a change from a former state to a new state; for states of obscurity must precede states of rest and peace in the Lord.
