Daniel 7:9
To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.
Rivelazione 20:4
4
Poi vidi de’ troni, e sopra quelli si misero a sedere de’ personaggi, a’ quali fu dato il giudicio; vidi ancora le anime di coloro che erano stati decollati per la testimonianza di Gesù, e per la parola di Dio; e che non aveano adorata la bestia, nè la sua immagine; e non aveano preso il suo marchio in su le lor fronti, e in su la lor mano; e costoro tornarono in vita, e regnarono con Cristo que’ mille anni.

An Invitation to the New Church # 10
10. The "fulness of time" also signifies consummation and desolation: the reason is that "time" signifies the state of the Church (see Revelation 10:6; and in Ezekiel). The same also is signified by "a time, times, and half a time" [see Revelation 12:14; Daniel 7:25; 12:7]. Times in the world are spring, summer, autumn; and the fulness of them is winter. Times as to light are morning, noon, evening; and the fulness of these is night, etc. , etc. This is meant by the Lord's coming being in "the fulness of time" or of "times;" that is, when there is no longer any truth of faith and good of charity remaining. (Concerning "the fulness of time," see Romans 11:12, 25; Galatians 4:4, and, especially, Ephesians 1:9, 10; Genesis 15:16).
