1 Περι των υιων Αμμων. Ουτω λεγει Κυριος· Μηπως δεν εχει υιους ο Ισραηλ; δεν εχει κληρονομον; δια τι ο Μαλχομ εκληρονομησε την Γαδ και ο λαος αυτου κατοικει εν ταις πολεσιν εκεινου;

2 Δια τουτο, ιδου, ερχονται ημεραι, λεγει Κυριος, και θελω καμει να ακουσθη εν Ραββα των υιων Αμμων θορυβος πολεμου· και θελει εισθαι σωρος ερειπιων και αι κωμαι αυτης θελουσι κατακαυθη εν πυρι· τοτε ο Ισραηλ θελει κληρονομησει τους κληρονομησαντας αυτον, λεγει Κυριος.

3 Ολολυξον, Εσεβων, διοτι η Γαι ελεηλατηθη· βοησατε, αι κωμαι της Ραββα, περιζωσθητε σακκους· θρηνησατε και περιδραμετε δια των φραγμων· διοτι ο Μαλχομ θελει υπαγει εις αιχμαλωσιαν, οι ιερεις αυτου και οι αρχοντες αυτου ομου.

4 Δια τι καυχασαι εις τας κοιλαδας; η κοιλας σου διερρευσε, θυγατηρ αποστατρια, ητις ηλπιζες επι τους θησαυρους σου, λεγουσα, Τις θελει ελθει εναντιον μου;

5 Ιδου, εγω φερω φοβον επι σε, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος των δυναμεων, απο παντων των περιοικων σου· και θελετε διασκορπισθη εκαστος κατα προσωπον αυτου· και δεν θελει υπαρχει ο συναξων τον πλανωμενον.

6 Και μετα ταυτα θελω επιστρεψει την αιχμαλωσιαν των υιων Αμμων, λεγει Κυριος.

7 Περι του Εδωμ. Ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων· δεν ειναι πλεον σοφια εν Θαιμαν; εχαθη η βουλη απο των συνετων; εφυγεν η σοφια αυτων;

8 Φυγετε, στραφητε, καμετε τοπους βαθεις δια κατοικιαν, κατοικοι της Δαιδαν· διοτι θελω φερει επ' αυτον τον ολεθρον του Ησαυ, τον καιρον της επισκεψεως αυτου.

9 Εαν ηρχοντο προς σε τρυγηται, δεν ηθελον αφησει επιφυλλιδας; εαν κλεπται δια νυκτος, ηθελον αρπασει το αρκουν εις αυτους.

10 Αλλ' εγω εγυμνωσα τον Ησαυ, ανεκαλυψα τους κρυψωνας αυτου, και δεν θελει δυνηθη να κρυφθη· ελεηλατηθη το σπερμα αυτου και οι αδελφοι αυτου και οι γειτονες αυτου, και αυτος δεν υπαρχει.

11 Αφες τα ορφανα σου· εγω θελω ζωογονησει αυτα· και αι χηραι σου ας ελπιζωσιν επ' εμε.

12 Διοτι ουτω λεγει Κυριος· Ιδου, εκεινοι εις τους οποιους δεν προσηκε να πιωσιν απο του ποτηριου, τωοντι επιον· και συ θελεις μεινει ολως ατιμωρητος; δεν θελεις μεινει ατιμωρητος αλλ' εξαπαντος θελεις πιει.

13 Διοτι ωμοσα εις εμαυτον, λεγει Κυριος, οτι η Βοσορρα θελει εισθαι εις θαμβος, εις ονειδος, εις ερημωσιν και εις καταραν· και πασαι αι πολεις αυτης θελουσιν εισθαι ερημοι εις τον αιωνα.

14 Ηκουσα αγγελιαν παρα Κυριου και μηνυτης απεσταλη προς τα εθνη, λεγων, Συναχθητε και ελθετε εναντιον αυτης και σηκωθητε εις πολεμον.

15 Διοτι ιδου, θελω σε καμει μικρον μεταξυ των εθνων, ευκαταφρονητον μεταξυ των ανθρωπων.

16 Η τρομεροτης σου σε ηπατησε και η υπερηφανια της καρδιας σου, συ ο κατοικων εν τοις κοιλωμασι των κρημνων, ο κατεχων το υψος των βουνων· και αν υψωσης την φωλεαν σου ως ο αετος, και εκειθεν θελω σε καταβιβασει, λεγει Κυριος.

17 Και ο Εδωμ θελει εισθαι εις θαμβος· πας ο διαβαινων δι' αυτου θελει εκθαμβηθη και θελει συριξει επι πασαις ταις πληγαις αυτου.

18 Καθως κατεστραφησαν τα Σοδομα και τα Γομορρα και τα πλησιοχωρα αυτων, λεγει Κυριος, ουτως ανθρωπος δεν θελει κατοικησει εκει ουδε υιος ανθρωπου θελει παροικησει εκει.

19 Ιδου, θελει αναβη ως λεων απο του φρυαγματος του Ιορδανου εναντιον της κατοικιας του δυνατου· αλλ' εγω ταχεως θελω εκδιωξει τουτον απ' αυτης· και οστις ειναι ο εκλεκτος μου, τουτον θελω καταστησει επ' αυτην· διοτι τις ομοιος μου; και τις θελει αντισταθη εις εμε; και τις ο ποιμην εκεινος, οστις θελει σταθη κατα προσωπον μου;

20 Δια τουτο ακουσατε την βουλην του Κυριου, την οποιαν εβουλευθη κατα του Εδωμ, και τους λογισμους αυτου, τους οποιους ελογισθη κατα των κατοικων της Θαιμαν· Εξαπαντος και τα ελαχιστα του ποιμνιου θελουσι κατασυρει αυτους· εξαπαντος η κατοικια αυτων θελει ερημωθη μετ' αυτων.

21 Απο του ηχου της αλωσεως αυτων εσεισθη η γη· ο ηχος της φωνης αυτης ηκουσθη εν τη Ερυθρα θαλασση.

22 Ιδου, θελει αναβη και πεταξει ως αετος, και θελει απλωσει τας πτερυγας αυτου επι Βοσορραν· και εν τη ημερα εκεινη η καρδια των ισχυρων του Εδωμ θελει εισθαι ως καρδια γυναικος κοιλοπονουσης.

23 Περι της Δαμασκου. Κατησχυνθη η Αιμαθ και η Αρφαδ· διοτι ηκουσαν κακην αγγελιαν· ανελυθησαν· ταραχη ειναι εν τη θαλασση· δεν δυναται να ησυχαση.

24 Η Δαμασκος παρελυθη, εστραφη εις φυγην, και τρομος κατελαβεν αυτην· αγωνια και πονοι εκυριευσαν αυτην ως τικτουσης.

25 Πως δεν εναπελειφθη η πολις η ευκλεης, η πολις της ευφροσυνης μου.

26 Δια τουτο οι νεοι αυτης θελουσι πεσει εν ταις πλατειαις αυτης, και παντες οι ανδρες οι πολεμισται θελουσιν απολεσθη κατ' εκεινην την ημεραν, λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων.

27 Και θελω αναψει πυρ εν τω τειχει της Δαμασκου και θελει καταφαγει τα παλατια του Βεν-αδαδ.

28 Περι της Κηδαρ, και περι των βασιλειων της Ασωρ, τα οποια επαταξε Ναβουχοδονοσορ ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος. Ουτω λεγει Κυριος· Σηκωθητε, αναβητε προς την Κηδαρ και λεηλατησατε τους υιους της ανατολης.

29 Θελουσι κυριευσει τας σκηνας αυτων και τα ποιμνια αυτων· θελουσι λαβει εις εαυτους τα παραπετασματα αυτων και πασαν την αποσκευην αυτων και τας καμηλους αυτων· και θελουσι βοησει προς αυτους, Τρομος πανταχοθεν.

30 Φυγετε, υπαγετε μακραν, καμετε τοπους βαθεις δια κατοικιαν, κατοικοι της Ασωρ, λεγει Κυριος· διοτι Ναβουχοδονοσορ ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος εβουλευθη βουλην εναντιον σας και ελογισθη λογισμους εναντιον σας.

31 Σηκωθητε, αναβητε εις το ησυχον εθνος το κατοικουν εν ασφαλεια, λεγει Κυριος· οιτινες δεν εχουσι πυλας ουδε μοχλους αλλα κατοικουσι μονοι·

32 και αι καμηλοι αυτων θελουσιν εισθαι λεηλασια και το πληθος των κτηνων αυτων λαφυρον· και θελω διασκορπισει αυτους εις παντας τους ανεμους, προς τους κατοικουντας εν τοις απωτατοις μερεσι· και θελω επιφερει τον ολεθρον αυτων εκ παντων των περατων αυτων, λεγει Κυριος.

33 Και η Ασωρ θελει εισθαι κατοικια θωων, ερημος εις τον αιωνα· δεν θελει κατοικει εκει ανθρωπος και δεν θελει παροικει εν αυτη υιος ανθρωπου.

34 Ο λογος του Κυριου, ο γενομενος προς Ιερεμιαν τον προφητην, κατα της Ελαμ εν τη αρχη της βασιλειας του Σεδεκιου βασιλεως του Ιουδα, λεγων,

35 Ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων· Ιδου, θελω συντριψει το τοξον της Ελαμ, την αρχην της δυναμεως αυτων.

36 Και θελω φερει επι την Ελαμ τους τεσσαρας ανεμους εκ των τεσσαρων ακρων του ουρανου, και θελω διασκορπισει αυτους εις παντας τουτους τους ανεμους· και δεν θελει εισθαι εθνος, οπου οι δεδιωγμενοι της Ελαμ δεν θελουσιν ελθει.

37 Διοτι θελω κατατρομαξει την Ελαμ εμπροσθεν των εχθρων αυτων και εμπροσθεν των ζητουντων την ψυχην αυτων· και θελω επιφερει κακον επ' αυτους, τον θυμον της οργης μου, λεγει Κυριος· και θελω αποστειλει την μαχαιραν οπισω αυτων, εωσου αναλωσω αυτους.

38 Και θελω στησει τον θρονον μου εν Ελαμ, και θελω εξολοθρευσει εκειθεν βασιλεα και μεγιστανας, λεγει Κυριος.

39 Πλην εν ταις εσχαταις ημεραις θελω επιστρεψει την αιχμαλωσιαν της Ελαμ, λεγει Κυριος.

500. The beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them. This symbolically means that those people who are caught up in the interior tenets of the doctrine regarding faith alone will oppose these two essential elements of the New Church, attack them, and reject them, in themselves and, as far as they are able, in others.

The beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit means the people who ascended out of the bottomless pit having the appearance of locusts in Revelation 9:1-12. That they were people caught up in the interior tenets of the doctrine regarding faith alone may be seen in the exposition there. To make war means, symbolically, to oppose and attack these two essential elements of the church, as we shall see next. To overcome them and kill them means, symbolically, to reject them and root them out, in themselves and, as far as they are able, in others.

[2] People caught up in the interior tenets of the doctrine regarding faith alone will attack and reject these two essential elements because they have established in themselves two ideas contrary to them, first, that it is not the Lord but God the Father to whom they should turn; and secondly, that a life in accordance with the Ten Commandments is not a spiritual life, but simply a moral and civic life, and they maintain this to keep anyone from believing that he is saved by works rather than by their faith alone.

All those people who in schools and universities have deeply impressed these dogmas on their minds do not afterward turn away from them. There are three reasons for this, hitherto unknown. First, they have introduced themselves as to their spirit into association with people in the spiritual world like themselves, where there are many satanic spirits who find delight only in falsities, and from these spirits they cannot possibly be set free unless they reject those falsities. Nor can they do that unless they turn to God the Savior directly and begin to live a Christian life in accordance with the Ten Commandments.

[3] The second reason is their belief that they are granted instant forgiveness for their sins and thus salvation in the act of faith, and afterward in the state or progression of it through the same act continued, preserved and retained by the Holy Spirit, apart from any exercises of charity. After that, then, once people have imbibed these ideas, they regard their sins as of no account in the sight of God, and so continue in their impure lives.

Moreover, because they know how to cleverly defend such ideas with falsifications of the Word in the presence of uneducated listeners, and with fallacious arguments in the presence of learned ones, we are told here that the beast from the bottomless pit overcame and killed the two witnesses. But this is the case only with people who love to live self-indulgently and are carried away by the delights of their appetites. Whenever these people think about salvation, they harbor at heart their lusts, and with both hands embrace that faith of theirs, because then they can be saved by uttering certain words in a confident tone and do not have to attend to anything having to do with their life for God's sake, but only for the sake of the world.

[4] The third reason is that people who in their youth have imbibed the interior tenets of that faith, called the mysteries of justification, when afterward promoted to a respectable ministry, do not think to themselves about God and heaven, but about themselves and the world, retaining the mysteries of their faith only for the sake of their reputation so as to be respected as wise, and because of their wisdom, accounted worthy to be rewarded with riches.

Such is the case as a result of that faith because it has nothing of religion in it. The reality of this may be seen in the third narrative account above, in no. 484.

[5] That wars in the Word symbolize spiritual wars, which are attacks on truth and are waged by reasonings based on falsities, is clear from the following passages:

...spirits of demons... go out... to gather them for war on the great day of God Almighty. (Revelation 16:14)

...the dragon was angry with the woman, and it went away to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Revelation 12:17)

It was granted to (the dragon's beast) to make war with the saints... (Revelation 13:7)

Prepare holy war against (the daughter of Zion)..., and let us go up at noon. (Jeremiah 6:4)

You have not gone up into the breaches... to stand in battle on the day of Jehovah. (Ezekiel 13:5)

In Salem is (God's) tabernacle, and His dwelling place in Zion, where He broke the flaming arrows, the bow... and... war. (Psalms 76:2-3)

Jehovah shall go forth like a mighty man; He shall stir up zeal like a man of war. (Isaiah 42:13, cf. Psalms 24:8)

In that day Jehovah... will be... for a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, ...to those who turn back the battle at the gate. (Isaiah 28:5-6)

Deliver me... from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man... All day they gather for war. They sharpen their tongues like serpents. (Psalms 140:1-3)

...many will come in My name, saying, "I am the Christ," and will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled. (Matthew 24:5-7, cf. Mark 13:6-8, Luke 21:8-10)

The wars of the kings of the north and south and other wars in Daniel 10, 11, and 12 symbolize no other than spiritual wars. And so, too, the wars in other places, as in Isaiah 2:3-5, 13:4, 21:14-15, 31:4; Jeremiah 49:25-26; Hosea 2:18; Zechariah 10:5, 14:3; Psalm 18:35 1 , 46:8-9.

[6] As wars in the Word symbolize spiritual wars, therefore the ministry of the Levites was called military service, as is apparent from the following, that the command was given for the Levites to be numbered, to "perform military service, to do the work in the tabernacle of meeting" (Numbers 4:23, 35, 39, 43, 47).

This is the service of the Levites: ...to perform military service in the ministry of the tabernacle of meeting; but at the age of fifty years he must cease the military service, and shall minister no more. (Numbers 8:24-25)

See also no. 447 above, where we established from the Word that armies symbolize the church's goods and truths, and in an opposite sense, its evils and falsities.
