"A thick mist, a darkness and cloud is
spread over all the earth. And, showing this,
the Apostle said, 'For we were once
darkness." (Eph. v. 8.) And Again, "Ye,
brethren, are not in darkness, that that day
should overtake you as a thief." Since
therefore there is, so to speak, a moonless
night, and we walk in that night, God hath
given us a bright lamp, having kindled in our
souls the grace of the Holy Spirit."

Fathers, Nicene and Post Nicene Fathers,

"If you seize that Glory that cannot be
forcibly seized, I shall rush upon you, so
that you may never more blaze on the earth
made by Ahura and protect the world of the
good principle."
The Avesta, Yast 19, Verse 48, (Zoroastrianism,
Words of Zarathustra
"My son, sinners entice you and say, 'Come
along with us! Let us lie in wait for the
honest man, let us, unprovoked, set a trap
for the innocent; Let us swallow them up, as
the nether world does, alive, in the prime of
life, like those who go down to the pit...
My son, walk not in the way with the, hold
back your foot from their path!"
