Bh\u00ed luathlitr\u00edocht na heagna bunaithe ar th\u00e1taill a th\u00e1inig \u00f3n aigne dhaonna agus \u00f3n taith\u00ed dhaonna, seachas \u00f3 fhoilsi\u00fa, \u00f3 chonradh D\u00e9 le Iosrael, n\u00f3 \u00f3 Dhl\u00ed Mhaois.

Tamall gearr roimhe seo scr\u00edobh P\u00f3l (Colasaigh 2:6-7): \u201cMar sin de, \u00f3s rud \u00e9 go bhfuil glactha agaibh le h\u00cdosa mar Thiarna, tugaig\u00ed bh\u00far saol i bp\u00e1irt leis. B\u00edg\u00ed pr\u00e9amhaithe ann agus bunaithe air agus daingean sa chreideamh faoi mar ar m\u00faineadh daoibh \u00e9\u201d. Cr\u00edochnaionn an sliocht do Dhomhnach C\u00e1sca mar seo: \u201cNuair a nochtfar Cr\u00edost, \u00e1r mbeatha, ansin nochtfar sibhse freisin mar aon leis faoi ghl\u00f3ir\u201d.

Baineann siad sin go l\u00e9ir leis an \u201csean-n\u00e1d\u00far\u201d.
