Daniel 8:20
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.
Arcana Coelestia #9329
9329. 'To whom you come' means because of the Lord's presence. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming to someone' as presence, as in 5934, 6063, 6089, 7498, 7631. The reason why the Lord's presence is meant is that the subject is the power of truth against evils and falsities, and all truth and its power emanate from the Lord. The children of Israel furthermore, to whom these words refer, mean truths that are received from the Lord, that is, spiritual truths, see 5414, 5879, 5951, 7957, 8234, 8805.
