Jelen tanulmányunkban szóról szóra elemezzük Pál mellékmondatát, különös tekintettel a gümnosz kifejezésre. A mondatot megpróbáljuk megtisztítani az értelmezések évszázadok alatt rárakódott porától, és keressük a szavak azon jelentését, amely – véleményünk szerint – leginkább megfelel Pál szándékának, majd pedig megfogalmazunk egy olyan, a szövegkörnyezetbe szervesen beépülő mondatot, amelynek üzenete beleillik a páli eszkatológiába.

A Jel 16,16 egy nevet is említ, amikor elbeszéli, hogy a Góg és Magóg népe azon a helyen gyülekezik háborúra, amit zsidóul „Harmagedon”-nak neveznek. Jelen tanulmányunkban erre a megnevezésre tekintünk, úgy, hogy először az ezzel kapcsolatos elméleteket foglaljuk össze, ezt követően pedig egy olyan alapvető szempontra hívjuk fel a figyelmet, amely úgy tűnik, hogy elkerülte a magyarázók figyelmét. Ez lehetőséget nyújthat arra, hogy jobban megértsük János gondolatainak hátterét, és közelebb kerüljünk Harmagedon titkának megértéséhez is.

The Autobiography of Gyula Mihaly Szigethy. The „peregrinatio academica” is a well documented topic of the transylvanian cultural history from the 17–18th century. Szigethi Gyula Mihály (1758–1837) was one of the thousands of young people, who choosed to travel thousands of miles in order to continue their studies in western-European universities. After finishing the college of Marosvásárhely (Tg. Mures) –one of the best transylvanian calvinist schools of his time –, thanks to the financial support of count Joseph Teleki, he attended the universities of Marburg, Göttingen, Stuttgart and Viena in the period between 1786–1790. Returning home he choosed not to become a priest as it would be a custom in those times, earninig his living for a few years as a privateprofessor in the courts of local nobils. In 1797 ha was ellected professor of the college from Udvarhely (Odorheiul Secuiesc), where he made a carrier, retiring in 1823. In this time he published among others articles about the history of the town and the college of Udvarhely. Although his journal written between 1786–1790 no longer exists, his autobiography –published in our article– written in 1833 contains important datas about the transylvanian educational system from the late 18th and the beginning of the 19th century.

Short History of the Lutheran Church District in Transylvania.The Hungarian Lutheran church in Transylvania has a unique history. At the beginning of it existence in the 16 century the Hungarian Lutherans joined the German Lutheran Church and have organized themselves as a deanery. They kept this structural form up till the end of the 19th century when they decided to split and have started to set up their own independent church district. As a first step they have formed a separate deanery which incorporated several Hungarian Lutheran local churches around Brassó, then mainly after the 20-es of the 20th century, they have restructured the local churches in the South-Western part of Romania and this is how three more deaneries came into being. This was enough to begin thinking on how these all could come together as a basic structure of a church district, which can be further broaden by incorporating more and more reorganized deaneries. The foundation of the new church district finally was set in their general assembly held in 1920 in the city of Arad. They also put a name of the new church formation: The Lutheran Church District in Transylvania and Banat region set up on the Augustana Confession.
