13
A roztrhněte srdce vaše, a ne roucha vaše, a navraťte se k Hospodinu Bohu vašemu; neboť jest on milostivý a lítostivý, dlouhočekající a hojný v milosrdenství, a kterýž lituje zlého.
Jóel 2:13
Wilderness
'Wilderness' signifies something with little life in it, as described in the internal sense in Luke 1:80 'Wilderness' signifies somewhere there is no good because there is no truth. 'Wilderness,' as in Jeremiah 23:10, signifies the Word when it is adulterated.

Apocalypse Revealed # 333
333. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth. (6:13) This symbolically means that all concepts of goodness and truth were dispelled.
Stars symbolize concepts of goodness and truth, as may be seen in no. 51 above. To fall from heaven to the earth is, clearly, to be dispelled.
Stars in the spiritual world appear to fall from the sky onto the earth there, too, wherever concepts of goodness and truth cease to exist.
