The Greek reads, Tous apax photisthentas, " they who have been once enlightened." The rendering of the Peschito here harmonizes with the emblematical way of speaking of baptism, as the mysterion photismatos, " the sacrament of illumination, " that prevailed in the ancient church; and to which an allusion is made so early as the middle of the second century, in the Apology of Justin Martyr. (Apol. i. cap. 80.) The epithet of "the illuminated" might have been applied to the baptized, in primitive days, both because the administration of the ordinance betokened a recognition, on the part of the church, of a certain measure of divine knowledge in the candidate, as well as that it was in itself a medium through which the BELIEVER had the privilege of receiving more of the illuminating grace of the Holy Spirit. Still we have no evidence that, in the tous photisthentus of the Greek text, there was any specific allusion to baptism.

And no man was able to enter the temple, until should be completed the seven plagues of the seven angels.1And one of the four living-ones gave to the seven angels SEVEN VIALS of gold, which were full of the wrath of Aloha, who liveth for ever and ever.)KAnd the seven angels came forth, having the seven plagues, from the temple, clothed in linen pure, resplendent, and girded at their breasts with zones of gold.iKAfter these I saw, and the temple of the tabernacle of testimony which is in heaven was opened.Z~-Who shall not fear thee, Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou only art [good, Polyglot.] and holy and just; therefore all nations shall come and worship before thee; because thy judgments are revealed.B}}And they sang the song of Musha the servant of Aloha, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and wondrous are thy works, Lord God Omnipotent; just and true are thy ways, king of ages!l|QAnd I saw as a sea of brightness commingled with fire; and them who had won-the-victory from the beast of prey, and from his image, and from the number of his name, standing on the sea of brightness, having the harps of Aloha.{ )AND I saw another sign in heaven, great and wondrous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is completed the wrath of Aloha.4zaAnd the winepress was trodden [without the city, and blood flowed from the winepress, Polyglot.] unto the bridles of the horses, a thousand and six hundred stadia.$yAAnd the angel thrust forth his sickle unto the earth, and reaped the vintage of the earth, and he cast into the winepress of the wrath of Aloha the Great.xAnd another angel came forth from the altar who had authority over the fire, and he cried with a great cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, Send forth thy sharp sickle, and reap the clusters of the vintage of the earth; for the grapes of the earth are ripe.bw=And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, having also a sharp sickle.LvAnd he thrust his sickle over the earth, and the earth was reaped.luQAnd another angel came out of the temple, crying with a great voice to him who sat upon the cloud.'tGAnd I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud sat (one) like the Son of man, having on his head a crown of gold, and in his hand a sharp sickle.Is  And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, Write, blessed are the dead who in Aloha die from now. Yes, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours, for their works follow with them.irK Here is the patience of the saints, who keep the commandments of Aloha, and the faith of Jeshu.q) And the smoke of their torment for ever and ever will ascend. And they have no rest day and night who worship the beast of prey and his image.[* Vide SCHLEUSNER, sub? (No. 2,) which is the word here incorporated into the Syrian text.]4oa And another angel, a third, followed them saying with a great voice, If any man worship the beast of prey and his image, and receive his mark on his brow, or in his hand,0nYAnd another angel, a second, followed him, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babel the Great, which of the wine of the rage of her fornication hath made all nations to drink.?mwsaying with a great voice, Serve Aloha, and give him glory: for the hour of his judgment cometh: and worship him who made heaven and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.hlIAnd I saw another angel flying through heaven, who with blood* had the everlasting gospel to preach to them who dwell on the earth, and unto every nation and tribe, and tongue and people; [* So SCHAFF, DE DIEU, and GUTBIR'S texts: but the Polyglots have not "with blood," a reading which admits of the same explanation as that given page 469.]PkAnd in their mouth falsehood was not found, for they are without spot.Zj-These are they who with women have not been defiled, for they are virgins. These are they who follow the Lamb wherever he goeth. These by Jeshu were redeemed from men, first-fruits unto Aloha and to the Lamb.qi[And they hymned a new hymn before the throne, and before the four living-ones, and the presbyters. And no man was able to learn the hymn, but the hundred and forty and four thousand [who were redeemed from the earth, Ibid.]..hUAnd I heard a voice from heaven, as the sound of many waters, and as the sound of great thunder; and the voice which I heard was as harpers striking on their harps.Wg )AND I saw, and, behold, the Lamb stood upon the mountain of Sion, and with him the number, an hundred and forty and four thousand, who had his name, and the name of his Father, written upon their foreheads.&fE Here is wisdom. Let him who hath mind, calculate the number of the beast of prey; for the number is of man; and his number is Six hundred and sixty and six.e as that no man might be able to buy or sell, unless he had the signature of the name of the beast of prey, or the number of his name.3d_ And he caused all, small and great, and rich and poor, and sons of freedom and slaves, to have given to them a signature upon their right hands, or upon their foreheads;c  And it was given to him to give spirit to the image of the beast of prey, [that the image also of the beast of prey should speak, Polyglots.] and to cause that all those whosoever who worshipped not the image of the beast of prey should be killed. b And he will seduce those who dwell upon earth to the making an image of the beast of prey who had the wound of the sword and lived.uac And he wrought great signs, as that also he would make fire to come down from heaven upon earth before men.L` And all the authority of the first beast of prey he exercised before him; and he made the earth and those who inhabit therein to worship the first beast of prey, whose wound of death was healed. _ And I saw another beast of prey ascending from the earth; and he had two horns like those of the lamb, and he spake as the dragon.E^ If any man into captivity leadeth, into captivity he shall go. If any man kill with the sword, it behoveth him by the sword to be killed. This is the patience and the faith of the saints.*]O If a man have ears, let him hear.#\? And all those who inhabit on the earth will worship him, they whose name is not written in the book of life of the Lamb from the foundation of the world..[U And there was given to him authority over every tribe, and people, and tongue, and nation; and there was given to him to make war with the saints, to overcome them.Z And he opened his mouth to blaspheme against Aloha, blaspheming his name, and his tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. ;vlbXND:0&~~~~~~~~~~~~~z~o~d~Y~N~C~8~-~"~~ ~}}}}}}}}}}}}~}s}h}]}R}H}=}2}'}}}|||||||||||||w|l|a|V|K|@|6|+| || {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{p{e{Z{O{D{9{.{#{{ {zzzzzzzzzzzzzznzbzVzJz>z2z&zzzyyyyyyyyyyyysygy[yOyCy7y+yyyxxxxxxxxxxxxxxlx`xTxHxu2u&uuuttttttttttt~trtftZtNtBt6t*tttsssssssssssswsks_sSsGs;s/s#ss rrrrrrrrrrrr{rorcrWrKr?r3r'rrrqqqqqqqqqqqqtqhq\qPqDq8q,q qqppppppppppppxpmpapUpIp=p1p%pp pooooooooooo}oqoeoYoMoAo5o)ooonnnnnnnnnnnnunin]nQnEn9n-n!nn mmmmmmmmmmmmzmnmbmVmJm>m2m&mmmlllllllllll~lrlflZlNlBl6l*lllkkkkkkkkkkkkvkjk_kSkGk;k/k#kk jjjjjjjjjjjj{jojcjWjKj?j3j'jjjiiiiiiiiiiiitihi\iPiDi8i,i iihhhhhhhhhhhhxhlh`hThHh`2`&```___________~_r_f_Z_N_B_6_*___^^^^^^^^^^^^w^k^_^S^G^;^/^#^^ ]]]]]]]]]]]]{]o]c]W]K]?]3]']]]\\\\\\\\\\\\s\g\\\P\D\8\,\ \\[[[[[[[[[[[[x[l[`[T[H[<[0[$[[ [ZZZZZZZZZZZ}ZqZeZYZMZAZ5Z)ZZZYYYYYYYYYYYYuYiY]YQYEY9Y-Y!YY XXXXXXXXXXXXyXmXaXUXIX=X1X&XXXWWWWWWWWWWW~WrWfWZWNWBW6W*WWWVVVVVVVVVVVVvVjV^VRVFV:V.V"VV UUUUUUUUUUUU{UoUcUWUKU?U3U'UUUTTTTTTTTTTTTsTgT[TOTCT7T+TTTSSSSSSSSSSSSwSkS_SSSGS;S/S#SS RRRRRRRRRRRR|RpRdRXRLR@R4R(RRRQQQQQQQQQQQQtQhQ\QPQDQ8Q,Q QQPPPPPPPPPPPPxPlP`PTPHP>>>>>>>>>>>s>g>[>O>C>7>+>>>============w=k=_=S=G=;=0=$== =<<<<<<<<<<<|727'777666666666666s6g6[6O6C676+666555555555555w5l5`5T5H5<505$55 544444444444|4p4d4X4L4@444(444333333333333t3h3\3P3D383,3 33222222222222x2l2`2T2H2<202$22 211111111111}1q1e1Y1M1A151)111000000000000u0i0]0Q0E090-0!00 ////////////z/n/b/V/J/>/2/&///............~.s.h.].R.G.<.1.&...-------------v-k-`-U-J-?-4-)---,,,,,,,,,,,,,y,n,c,X,M,B,7,,,!,, ,++++++++++++|+p+d+X+L+@+4+(+++************t*h*\*P*D*8*,* **))))))))))))x)l)`)T)H)<)0)$)) )(((((((((((}(q(e(Y(M(A(5()(((''''''''''''u'i']'Q'F':'.'"'' &&&&&&&&&&&&z&n&b&V&J&>&2&&&&&%%%%%%%%%%%~%r%f%Z%N%B%7%+%%%$$$$$$$$$$$$w$k$_$S$G$;$/$#$$ ############{#o#d#X#L#@#4#(###""""""""""""t"h"\"P"D"8"," ""!!!!!!!!!!!!x!l!`!T!H!2&~rfZNB6*vj^RF:.# {ocWK?3'sg[OC7+wk_SG<0$ |pdXL@4(th\PE9-! ymaUI=1% }qeYMA5)vj^RF:." znbVJ>2&  0 ;  / :  . 9  - 8  , 7  + 6  * 5  ) 4  ( 3  ' 2  & 1  % 0  $ /  # .
