Greek term or phrase: μεταδημοτεύσει εις τας «Αιωνίους Μονάς»
Ευτυχώς ο πατέρας του δεν ταλαιπωρήθηκε. Πριν από μερικά χρόνια, είχε μεταδημοτεύσει εις τας «Αιωνίους Μονάς», όπου δεν γίνονται λάθη, και έτσι την γλύτωσε!
Spiros Doikas
Local time: 20:26
moved into/emigrated everlasting habitations
Explanation:
O if men did truly know that God is their own Father, and Christ their only Redeemer and Head, and that those are their own everlasting habitations, and that there they must abide and be happy for ever; how could they but be transported with the forethoughts thereof! If a Christian could but look upon sun, moon and stars, and reckon all his own in Christ, and say, "These are the blessings that my Lord hath procured me, and things incomparably greater than these;" what holy raptures would his spirit feel!
