達味(David)

達味回答那培肋舍特說:「你仗著刀槍箭戟來對付我,但我是仗著你所淩辱的萬軍的上主,以色列的天主的聖名來對付你。今天上主定把你交在我手中,我必打死你割下你的頭來;今天我要把你的屍體和培肋舍特軍人的屍體,給空中的飛鳥和田野的走獸吃:這樣:全地都要知道在以色列有天主。在埸的眾人也要知道,上主不賴刀槍賜人勝利,戰爭勝負只屬於上主,衪已把你們交我們手中了。」(撒慕爾紀上17:45-47) Then David said to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword and a spear and a javelin: but I come to you in the name of the Lord of armies, the God of the armies of Israel on which you have put shame. This day the Lord will give you up into my hands, and I will overcome you, and take your head off you; and I will give the bodies of the Philistine army to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth today, so that all the earth may see that Israel has a God; And all these people who are here today may see that the Lord does not give salvation by sword and spear: for the fight is the Lord's, and he will give you up into our hands.

洪水滅世(Flood of waters)

凡地上行動而有血肉的生物:飛禽、牲畜、野獸,在地上爬行的爬蟲,以及所有的人全滅亡了;
凡在旱地上以鼻呼吸的生靈都死了。


And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.



(創世紀7:21-2)

諾厄(Noah)

(創世紀5:28-9:29)



我要將我所造的人,連人帶野獸、爬蟲和天空的飛鳥,都由地面上消滅,因為我後悔造了他們。

I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. (創世紀6:7)

創世紀(Genesis)

上主天主用地上的灰土形成了人,在他鼻孔內吹了一口生氣,人就成了一個有靈的生物。(創2:7) And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

最後審判(Last Judgment)



默示錄(阿波卡利普西斯)

公審判 
以後,我看見了一個潔白的大寶座,和坐於其上的那位;地和天都從他面前消失不見了,再也找不到它們的地方了。
我又看見死過的人,無論大小,都站在寶座前,案卷就展開了;還有另一本書,即生命冊也展開了,死過的人都按那案卷上所記錄的,照他們的行為受了審判。
海洋把其中的死者交出,死亡和陰府都把其中的死者交出,人人都按照自己的行為受了審判。
然後死亡和陰府也被投入火坑,這火坑就是第二次死亡。

凡是沒有記載在生命冊上的人,就被投入火坑中。(20)

最後晚餐(Last Supper)


無酵節的第一天,即宰殺逾越節羔羊的那一天,門徒對耶穌說:「你願我們往那裏去,給你預備吃逾越節晚餐﹖」
耶穌就打發兩個門徒,對他們說:「你們往城裏去,必有一個拿著水罐的人迎面而來,你們就跟著他去;
他無論進入那裏,你們就對那家主說:師傅問:我同我的門徒吃逾越節晚餐的客廳在那裏﹖
他必指給你們一間舖設好了的寬大樓廳,你們就在那裏為我們預備罷!」
門徒去了,來到城裏,所遇見的,正如耶穌給他們所說的;他們就預備了逾越節晚餐。
到了晚上,耶穌同那十二人來了。
他們坐席吃飯時,耶穌說:「我實在告訴你們:你們中有一個與我同食的要負賣我。」
他們就都憂悶起來,一個一個地問他說:「難道是我嗎﹖」
耶穌對他們說:「是十二人中的一個,同我一起在盤子裏蘸的那一個。
人子固然要按照指著他所記載的而去,但是負賣人子的那人是有禍的! 那人若沒有生,為他更好。」
(馬14:12-21)
