Is Saul also among the prophets?
In like Flynn –«А Флинн уж там»; (посл.) наш пострел везде успел; проворный человек Refers to Errol Flynn’s popularity with women in the 40s. He was a famous actor and his ability to attract women was well known throughout the world. There are other claims for the origin of the phrase, one of them being that it refers to Edward Flynn, a campaign manager during Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s presidency (1933–1945). Flynn’s machine was so successful at winning elections that his candidates seemed to be in office automatically. (Be) In the arms of Morpheus – (оказаться) в объятиях Морфея; уснуть Asleep: I’ll be in the arms of Morpheus as soon as I turn out the light. Morpheus was the ancient Greek god of dreams. Is Saul also among the prophets? – Саул во пророках; человек с неожиданно выявившимся дарованием It’s a biblical idiom used when somebody known for something bad appears all of a sudden to be doing something very good. Paul the Apostle (c. AD 5 – c. AD 67), variously referred to as the “Apostle Paul” or “Saint Paul”, is described in the Christian New Testament as one of the most influential early Christian missionaries. According to the writings in the New Testament, Paul was known as Saul prior to his conversion, and was dedicated to the persecution of the early disciples of Jesus in the area of Jerusalem. While traveling from Jerusalem to Damascus on a mission, the resurrected Jesus appeared to him in a great light. Saul was struck blind, but after three days his sight was restored, and Paul began to preach that Jesus of Nazareth is the Jewish Messiah and the Son of God.
