Daniel 7:20
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.
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.

Marriage #1
ON MARRIAGE II
On the representation of conjugial love by the most beautiful objects.
Truly conjugial love is represented in heaven by various means. It is represented by diamond auras, glistening as if with rubies and garnets, also by the most beautiful rainbows and showers of gold, the sight of which fills by-standers with such pleasure and delight that their minds are stirred to their depths. I have heard the angels in the gardens of heaven when conjugial love was so represented, and they said that they were filled with such delight that they could not express it otherwise than by saying it was delight itself, from which all other delights sprang as from their origin. They said that this was pure mental delight, without any arousing of lust. For such is conjugial love in origin.
