17 Ουτω θελετε γνωρισει οτι εγω ειμαι Κυριος ο Θεος σας, ο κατοικων εν Σιων, τω ορει τω αγιω μου· τοτε η Ιερουσαλημ θελει εισθαι αγια και αλλογενεις δεν θελουσι διελθει δι' αυτης πλεον.

11 Και εν εκεινη τη ημερα ο Κυριος θελει βαλει την χειρα αυτου παλιν δευτεραν φοραν δια να αναλαβη το υπολοιπον του λαου αυτου, το οποιον θελει μεινει, απο της Ασσυριας και απο της Αιγυπτου και απο του Παθρως και απο της Αιθιοπιας και απο του Ελαμ και απο του Σεννααρ και απο του Αιμαθ και απο των νησων της θαλασσης.

408. And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch. This symbolizes the appearance of their personal intelligence owing to a conceit arising from a hellish love.

A great star falling from heaven symbolizes the appearance of their personal intelligence owing to a conceit arising from a hellish love, because it appeared to burn like a torch, and because its name was Wormwood, as we are told in the next verse. Both a star and a torch symbolize intelligence, here the people's personal intelligence, because it appeared to burn, and everyone's personal intelligence burns with conceit, a conceit that arises from a hellish love, a love symbolized by the mountain burning with fire (no. 403). Wormwood symbolizes hellish falsity, which gives rise to and composes that intelligence.

To be shown that a star symbolizes intelligence, see nos. 151, 954, and that a torch or lamp does also, no. 796.
