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.

Commentary

 

Tempest

  

In Psalm 11:6; Isaiah 29:6; 32:2, a tempest signifies the dispersion of truths with the evil. (Apocalypse Explained 419[22])

Tempests also signify the dispersion of falsities and evils which destroy all the truths of the church. (Apocalypse Explained 578[17])
