Осмият ден (от индикта) The Eighth Day (of indiction)


T A L M A C H
so much and simple



Светът е сътворен в Шест Дни,
а Седмият бе определен за прослава на Твореца.
И така цикълът се завъртя във времето...
Наричат го Битие, седмица, календар...

А на Осмия ден
дойде
надеждата за спасение,
началото на нашето спасение се роди на Осмия ден от индикта
(а чрез нея - Пресвета Богородица, Вечната Дева Мариам -
дойде на този свят и нашият Спасител),
впоследствие (вероятно) пак на този Осми ден
ще дойде и самото наше спасение...

(За ранните християнски отци духовният "Осми Ден"
е Христовото възкресение) или краят на света...

Но край ли е нашето спасение -
[на английски - ЦЕЛ - да разбира се,
това е към което се стремим в крайна сметка!]

или нашето спасение е край на света, на този свят?!?



The world was created in Six Days
and the Seventh Day was attributed to honor the Creator.
And so the cycle started running in time...
It is called Genesis, week, calendar...

And on the Eighth Day
there came
the hope for salvation,
the beginning of our salvation was born on the Eighth Day of the indiction
(and through Her – the Most Holy Theotokos, Ever Virgin Miriam –
coming to this world was also our Savior),
subsequently (probably) still on that Eighth day
there will come our very salvation...

(For early Christian fathers the spiritual "Eighth Day"
is Christ's resurrection) or the end of the world...

But is our salvation an end –
[Yes, of course - in English -
yes, this is our ultimate objective!]

or our salvation is an end of the world, of this world?!?



Epistle of Barnabas
       "Chapter 16. The spiritual temple of God
       Moreover, I will also tell you concerning the temple, how the wretched [Jews], wandering in error, trusted not in God Himself, but in the temple, as being the house of God. For almost after the manner of the Gentiles they worshipped Him in the temple. But learn how the Lord speaks, when abolishing it: "Who has meted out heaven with a span, and the earth with his palm? Have not I?" Isaiah 40:12 "Thus says the Lord, Heaven is My throne, and the earth My footstool: what kind of house will you build to Me, or what is the place of My rest?" Isaiah 66:1 You perceive that their hope is vain. Moreover, He again says, "Behold, they who have cast down this temple, even they shall build it up again." It has so happened. For through their going to war, it was destroyed by their enemies; and now: they, as the servants of their enemies, shall rebuild it. Again, it was revealed that the city and the temple and the people of Israel were to be given up. For the Scripture says, "And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the Lord will deliver up the sheep of His pasture, and their sheep-fold and tower, to destruction." And it so happened as the Lord had spoken. Let us inquire, then, if there still is a temple of God. There is— where He himself declared He would make and finish it. For it is written, "And it shall come to pass, when the week is completed, the temple of God shall be built in glory in the name of the Lord." Daniel 9:24-27; Haggai 2:10 I find, therefore, that a temple does exist. Learn, then, how it shall be built in the name of the Lord. Before we believed in God, the habitation of our heart was corrupt and weak, as being indeed like a temple made with hands. For it was full of idolatry, and was a habitation of demons, through our doing such things as were opposed to [the will of] God. But it shall be built, you observe, in the name of the Lord, in order that the temple of the Lord may be built in glory. How? Learn [as follows]. Having received the forgiveness of sins, and placed our trust in the name of the Lord, we have become new creatures, formed again from the beginning. Wherefore in our habitation God truly dwells in us. How? His word of faith; His calling of promise; the wisdom of the statutes; the commands of the doctrine; He himself prophesying in us; He himself dwelling in us; opening to us who were enslaved by death the doors of the temple, that is, the mouth; and by giving us repentance introduced us into the incorruptible temple. He then, who wishes to be saved, looks not to man, but to Him who dwells in him, and speaks in him, amazed at never having either heard him utter such words with his mouth, nor himself having ever desired to hear them. This is the spiritual temple built for the Lord."


'It is not these sabbaths of the present age that I find acceptable, but the one of my own appointment: the one that, after I have set all things at rest, is to usher in the Eighth Day, the commencement of a new world.
' (And we too rejoice in celebrating the Eighth Day; because that was when Jesus rose from the dead, and showed Himself again, and ascended into heaven.)"

An inscription in readable BULGARIAN by king Ivan Assen II

"В лето индикт Азъ Йоан Асен въ Христа Бога верньi царъ и самодръжецъ блъгарамъ, синъ стараго Асенъ, създах от зачиала и писанием оукрасих до конца пречстняя сиа чрък въ имя сты 40 мачмникъ ихже помощи в 12 лето црства моего внеже лет псаа еся храмъ съизлезох на бранъ въ Романия и разбих воиска гръчка и самого цръ кюра Одара Комнина и съ всем болеры его а земя вся преях от Одрина и до Драчъ Гръчка ицеже арбанаска и сръбскаа токчоса. Градовом окръг Цреград и самого того град дръжаха Фразинъ ----- Црства моего повиноваха ся понеже иного цръ неимеха раз в мене и мънога ради дни своя испроваждаше беха Богу тако повелевъ. Щоу ибо без него ни дело ни слов с съвръшается. Томоу слава въ векове, Аминъ."


"В лето 6738 [1230], индикт 3. Аз Иван Асен, в Христа бога верен цар и самодържец на българите, син на стария цар Асен, създадох из основа и с живопис украсих докрай тази пречестна църква в името на светите 40 мъченици, с помощта на които в дванадесетата година от моето царуване, в която година се изписваше този храм, излязох на бран в Романия и разбих гръцката войска и плених самия цар кир Теодор Комнин с всичките му боляри, а цялата земя от Одрин до Драч завладях – гръцка, още и арбанаска и сръбска. Франките владееха само градовете около Цариград и самия този град, но и те се повинуваха(подчиняваха, покоряваха) под десницата на моето царство, понеже нямаха друг цар освен мене и благодарение на мене прекарваха своите дни, защото така повели Бог. Понеже без него ни дело, ни слово се извършва. Нему слава на векове. Амин."


"In the year 6738 [1230], indiction 3.
I - Ivan Assen, in Christ the Lord a
loyal King and autocrat of the Bulgarians,
son of old King Assen, created from the ground up
and fully decorated with paintings this most honorable
Church in the name of the Holy 40 Martyrs, through
the help of whom in the twelfth year of my reign,
in which year this temple was being painted, went to war
in Romania [Byzantium] and defeated the Greek army and
captured King Kiros Theodore Komnenos himself
with all his boyars, and conquered all the land from
Adrianopolis [Edirne] to Drach - [that was] Greek, and
also Arbanasian and Serbian. The Franks controlled only the
towns around Tsarigrad [Constantinople] and that city itself,
but even they paid tribute [obligation] (subordinated, obeyed)
under the right hand of my kingdom, because they had
no other king but me and through me they spent their days
as God ordered so. As without Him no deed, no word is done.
To Him glory for centuries. Amen."
