1 Ειδον τον Κυριον ισταμενον επι του θυσιαστηριου, και ειπε, Παταξον το ανωφλιον της πυλης, δια να σεισθωσι τα προπυλαια, και συντριψον αυτα κατα της κεφαλης παντων τουτων· τους δε υπολοιπους αυτων θελω θανατωσει εν ρομφαια· ουδεις εξ αυτων φευγων θελει διαφυγει και ουδεις εξ αυτων σωζομενος θελει διασωθη.

2 Εαν σκαψωσιν εως αδου, εκειθεν η χειρ μου θελει ανασπασει αυτους· και εαν αναβωσιν εις τον ουρανον, εκειθεν θελω καταξει αυτους.

3 Και εαν κρυφθωσιν εν τη κορυφη του Καρμηλου, εκειθεν θελω εξερευνησει και συλλαβει αυτους· και εαν κρυφθωσιν απο των οφθαλμων μου εις τα βαθη της θαλασσης, εκει θελω προσταξει τον δρακοντα και θελει δαγκασει αυτους.

4 Και εαν υπαγωσιν εις αιχμαλωσιαν εμπροσθεν των εχθρων αυτων, εκειθεν θελω προσταξει την μαχαιραν και θελει θανατωσει αυτους· και θελω στησει τους οφθαλμους μου επ' αυτους δια κακον και ουχι δια καλον.

5 Διοτι Κυριος ο Θεος των δυναμεων ειναι, οστις εγγιζει την γην και τηκεται, και παντες οι κατοικουντες εν αυτη θελουσι πενθησει· και θελει υπερεκχειλισει ολη ως ποταμος και θελει καταποντισθη ως υπο του ποταμου της Αιγυπτου.

6 Αυτος ειναι ο οικοδομων τα υπερωα αυτου εν τω ουρανω και θεμελιων τον θολον αυτου επι της γης, ο προσκαλων τα υδατα της θαλασσης και εκχεων αυτα επι το προσωπον της γης· Κυριος το ονομα αυτου.

7 δεν εισθε εις εμε ως υιοι Αιθιοπων, σεις υιοι Ισραηλ; λεγει Κυριος· δεν ανεβιβασα τον Ισραηλ εκ γης Αιγυπτου και τους Φιλισταιους απο Καφθορ και τους Συριους απο Κιρ;

8 Ιδου, οι οφθαλμοι Κυριου του Θεου ειναι επι το βασιλειον το αμαρτωλον, και θελω αφανισει αυτο απο προσωπου της γης· πλην οτι δεν θελω αφανισει ολοτελως τον οικον Ιακωβ, λεγει Κυριος.

9 Διοτι ιδου, εγω θελω προσταξει και θελω λικμησει τον οικον Ισραηλ μεταξυ παντων των εθνων, καθως λικμαται ο σιτος εν τω κοσκινω, και δεν θελει πεσει κοκκος επι την γην.

10 Υπο ρομφαιας θελουσιν αποθανει παντες οι αμαρτωλοι του λαου μου, οι λεγοντες, Δεν θελει μας εγγισει ουδε μας καταφθασει το κακον.

11 Εν τη ημερα εκεινη θελω αναστησει την σκηνην του Δαβιδ την πεπτωκυιαν, και θελω φραξει τας χαλαστρας αυτης, και θελω ανεγειρει τα ερειπια αυτης, και θελω ανοικοδομησει αυτην ως εν ταις αρχαιαις ημεραις·

12 δια να κληρονομησωσι το υπολοιπον του Εδωμ και παντα τα εθνη, επι τα οποια καλειται το ονομα μου, λεγει Κυριος, ο ποιων ταυτα.

13 Ιδου, ερχονται ημεραι, λεγει Κυριος, και ο αροτρευς θελει φθασει τον θεριστην και ο ληνοβατης τον σπειροντα τον σπορον, και τα ορη θελουσι σταλαξει γλευκος και παντες οι βουνοι θελουσι ρεει αγαθα.

14 Και θελω επιστρεψει τους αιχμαλωτους του λαου μου Ισραηλ, και θελουσιν ανοικοδομησει τας πολεις τας ηρημωμενας και κατοικησει· και θελουσι φυτευσει αμπελωνας και πιει τον οινον αυτων, και θελουσι καμει κηπους και φαγει τον καρπον αυτων.

15 Και θελω φυτευσει αυτους επι την γην αυτων, και δεν θελουσιν εκσπασθη πλεον απο της γης αυτων, την οποιαν εδωκα εις αυτους, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος σου.

Apocalypse Explained # 404

404. Verse 14. And the heaven departed as a book rolled up, signifies that the spiritual man became closed up. This is evident from the signification of "heaven," as being the church in general and in particular; for the church is the heaven of the Lord on the earth; moreover, the church makes one with heaven by conjunction; therefore when "heaven and earth" are mentioned in the Word, the church internal and external is meant, for the internal of the men of the church is heaven with them, and their external is the world with them; and as "heaven and earth" signify the church internal and external so they signify the internal and external man, or the spiritual and the natural man; for as man in whom is the good of love and of faith is a church, so the church, in general exists from the men in whom the church is. This makes clear why it is that "heaven" here means the internal or spiritual man. It is said "the spiritual man," by which is meant the spiritual mind, which is the higher or interior mind of man, while the lower or exterior mind is called the natural man. The above is evident also from the signification of "departed as a book rolled up," as meaning that it became closed up; for the spiritual mind, which is, as was said, the higher or interior mind with man, is opened by truths applied to life, thus by goods, but it is closed up by falsities applied to life, thus by evils; and the closing up is as the rolling up of the scroll of a book. That this is so was made very clear by the appearances in the spiritual world when the Last Judgment was accomplished; for the mountains and the hills there then appeared sometimes to be rolled up as the scroll of a book is rolled up, and those that were upon them were then rolled down into hell. The cause of this appearance was this: that the interiors of their minds, through which somewhat of light from heaven had before flowed in, were then closed up. What takes place in general with many, takes place with everyone in particular of a like character, for in the spiritual world such as the general is, such is the particular (See in the work on Heaven and Hell 73). By "book" is meant a scroll, because in ancient times there were no types and thus no books like those at the present day, but there were scrolls of parchments; so "books" in Revelation mean scrolls, and "heaven departed as a book rolled up" means as a scroll rolled up; the same as in Isaiah:

All the host of the heavens shall waste away, and the heavens shall be rolled up as a book (Isaiah 34:4).
