Meiri...If I'm not mistaken, the line "In the end, we will see not as through a glass darkly, but clearly, face to face" is a bit of Bible scripture, though from which book I'm not at all sure. I want to say the Book of Revelation, but I'm almost certain that isn't it...

Cbleidd...I was wondering that myself but not sure either..I also have it in gaelic and can't remember when I got it!!!

Try 1 Corinthians 13:12

that may be it mama....thanks!!!!!!
I have found other verses close as in Corinthians but still not the wording I have

Don't forget that the different versions phrase it differently. King James, NIV, etc will say the same thing basically, but won't be exact. *S* Good luck!

the words through a glass darkly are taken from the Apostles' Acts, first letter from St. Paul to the Corinthians, chapter 13, verse 12: "now we see through a glass darkly, then we will see face to face".

Paul saw "through a glass darkly" because, in his time, glass contained impurities that made it translucent but not transparent. It was a bit like looking through frosted glass. He could see the image, but not the detail.
