11 Θελεις καμει και πεντηκοντα περονας χαλκινας, και θελεις εμβαλει τας περονας εις τα θηλυκωτηρια, και θελεις συναψει την σκηνην, ωστε να ηναι μια.

Apocalypse Revealed # 528

528. "And to destroy those who are destroying the earth." This symbolizes the casting down into hell of the people who destroyed the church.

To destroy those who are destroying the earth symbolizes the casting down into hell of people who destroyed the church, because the earth symbolizes the church (no. 285), and because this statement follows the declaration that the time has come to judge the dead, which symbolizes the last judgment on people who were without any spiritual life (no. 525). Thus the statement here, that the time has come to destroy those who are destroying the earth, symbolizes the casting down into hell of the people who destroyed the church.

Something similar is said of Lucifer, meaning Babylon, in Isaiah:

...you have destroyed your land and slain your people. (Isaiah 14:20)

12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:

13 There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
