Und was die übrigen Tiere betrifft: ihre Herrschaft wurde weggenommen, aber Verlängerung des Lebens ward ihnen gegeben bis auf Zeit und Stunde.
Daniel 7:12
Arcana Coelestia # 8621
8621. 'And put it in the ears of Joshua' means with a view to obedience on the part of truth engaged in conflict with that falsity. This is clear from the meaning of 'putting in the ears' as with a view to obedience (for the meaning of 'ear' as obedience, see 2542, 3869, 4652-4660); and from the representation of 'Joshua' as truth engaged in conflict with falsity arising from interior evil, dealt with in 8595.
Revelation 17:8
8
The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and to go into destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, and shall be present.
