Genesi 9:22
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 #1052
1052. Verse 16. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will see it, that I may remember the eternal covenant between God and every living soul of all flesh that is upon the earth. “And the bow shall be in the cloud” signifies man’s state; “and I will see it” signifies that it is such that he can be regenerated; “that I may remember the eternal covenant” signifies that the Lord can be present with him in charity; “between God and every living soul of all flesh that is upon the earth” signifies with every man with whom this is possible. These things specifically regard the man who can be regenerated.
