Ezechiele 38:16
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.
Pestilence
In 2 Kings 1:2; Psalm 38:7; Exodus 15:26; Luke 6:17, this signifies temptations, and corresponds with the state of the man's spirit. (Arcana Coelestia 5711)
In Deuteronomy 7:15, this signifies the evils which assail people in faith separate from charity, and so in a life of evil. (Arcana Coelestia 8364)
In Matthew 4:24, disease or illness signifies various kinds of evils and falsities infesting the church and the human race, which if allowed to continue, would have induced spiritual death. (Arcana Coelestia 8364) 'Pestilence' denotes the vastation of good and truth.
