Apocalisse 1:15

15 E i suoi piedi eran simili a del calcolibano, a guisa che fossero stati infocati in una fornace; e la sua voce era come il suono di molte acque.

Apocalisse 1:15 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 1:15

And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a
furnace

17 E quando io l’ebbi veduto, caddi ai suoi piedi come morto. Ed egli mise la sua man destra sopra me, dicendomi: Non temere; io sono il primo, e l’ultimo;
