Personally, I prefer Jerome's translation:

"sed sicut scriptum est quod oculus non vidit nec
auris audivit nec in cor hominis ascendit quae
praeparavit Deus his qui diligunt illum nobis
autem revelavit Deus per Spiritum suum Spiritus
enim omnia scrutatur etiam profunda Dei quis enim
scit hominum quae sint hominis nisi spiritus
hominis qui in ipso est ita et quae Dei sunt nemo
cognovit nisi Spiritus Dei nos autem non spiritum
mundi accepimus sed Spiritum qui ex Deo est ut
sciamus quae a Deo donata sunt nobis quae et
loquimur non in doctis humanae sapientiae verbis
sed in doctrina Spiritus spiritalibus spiritalia
conparantes animalis autem homo non percipit ea
quae sunt Spiritus Dei stultitia est enim illi et
non potest intellegere quia spiritaliter examinatur"

--I Corinthiorum 2:9-14, editio Vulgata

IOW, worldly men (Atheists, Barbarians, Blockheads) do not
receive the Comforter (Holy Ghost, Holy Spirit), thus they
cannot see the Light of heaven... i.e., not until they die,
and their immortal souls get caught in Dark Limbo, at which
point they'll be *FORCED* to see the Light, afraid, scared,
_terrified_ of Light, in which awaits their future Judgment.

An excerpt from Josephus' "Discourse to the Greeks concerning
Hades" sums it up rather nicely (though a crude translation):

"...the just are guided
to the right hand, and are led with hymns, sung by
the angels appointed over that place, unto a region
of light, in which the just have dwelt from the
beginning of the world; not constrained by necessity,
but ever enjoying the prospect of the good things
they see, and rejoice in the expectation of those new
enjoyments which will be peculiar to every one of
them, and esteeming those things beyond what we have
here; with whom there is no place of toil, no burning
heat, no piercing cold, nor are any briers there; but
the countenance of the and of the just, which they
see, always smiles them, while they wait for that
rest and eternal new life in heaven, which is to
succeed this region. This place we call The Bosom of
Abraham.
"But as to the unjust, they are dragged by force to
the left hand by the angels allotted for punishment,
no longer going with a good-will, but as prisoners
driven by violence; to whom are sent the angels
appointed over them to reproach them and threaten
them with their terrible looks, and to thrust them
still downwards. Now those angels that are set over
these souls drag them into the neighborhood of hell
itself; who, when they are hard by it, continually
hear the noise of it, and do not stand clear of the
hot vapor itself; but when they have a near view of
this spectacle, as of a terrible and exceeding great
prospect of fire, they are struck with a fearful
expectation of a future judgment, and in effect
punished thereby: and not only so, but where they see
the place [or choir] of the fathers and of the just,
even hereby are they punished; for a chaos deep and
large is fixed between them; insomuch that a just man
that hath compassion upon them cannot be admitted,
nor can one that is unjust, if he were bold enough to
attempt it, pass over it."

So, Christianity is finally coming to an end is it and facing
its Armaggedon. I wish it were true.

As we mere mortals watch the meltdown of the fourth empire, watching their 2008 so-called "election" going up in smoke

I'd rather live in hell than have to put up with your insane *****!

"Better to reign in Hell, then serve in Heav'n"--Paradise Lost, eh?

atheism: Gk. atheos, lit. without Zeus, without God

You Atheists might want to get your noses back into the Prophecies,
seeing you are fast running out of time (by the sacred revolutions),
so you can be _reminded_ of what exceedingly horrendous fates await
each and every one of you, each exactly according to your works of
good and works of evil: into the lake of Fire! The hour approaches...

"...par les Occidentaux. Et a ce regne sera faicte
by the Occidentals. And to this reign will be made

grande desolation, & les plus grandes citez seront
greatest desolation, & the more great cities will be

de peuplees, & ceux qui entreront dedans seront
depopulated, & those which will enter inside will be

comprins a la vengeance de l'ire de Dieu."
comprehending to the vengeance of the ire of Zeus.
