74. 3.

That the Lord Jehovih would pour out His anger against them to consume them (Ezekiel 20:8-13).

That Jehovah will execute great vengeance, and take vengeance in wrath (Ezekiel 25:12, 14-15, 17).

I will make thee a desolate city, and I will cause thee to go down into the pit, to the people of old time, and cause thee to dwell in the land of the lower places, in the desolation of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou mayest not dwell; then will I set glory in the land of the living (Ezekiel 26:19-20) Concerning Tyre.

The day of its fall (Ezekiel 26:18). Concerning Tyre.

Howl ye, alas the day! for the day is near, the day of Jehovah is near, a day of cloud (Ezekiel 30:2-3). Concerning Egypt.

In the day when Pharaoh shall go down into hell, I will cover the deep upon him; when I shall cause him to go down into hell with them that go down into the pit, and into the lower earth (Ezekiel 31:15-18; 32:18, 27, 29).

Hell in this place is called a grave where they lie (32:22-23, 25-26), and a pit.

That they will cause terror in the land of the living (Ezekiel 32:24-25).

After many days thou shalt be visited, and in the latter years thou shalt come upon the land (Ezekiel 38:8, 16). In that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel (Ezekiel 38:19).

145. In the Word too 'name' means the essential nature of a real thing, and 'seeing and calling by name' knowing characters, as in Isaiah,

I will give you the treasures of darkness and the hoarded riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, Jehovah, the one calling you by name, the God of Israel. For the sake of My servant Jacob, and of Israel My chosen, and I have called you by name, I have surnamed you, but you do not know Me. Isaiah 45:3-4.

Here 'calling by name' and 'surnaming' mean knowing his character beforehand. In the same prophet,

You will be called by a new name which the mouth of Jehovah will declare. Isaiah 62:2.

This stands for his becoming a different person, as is clear from what precedes and what follows these words. In the same prophet,

O Israel, fear not, for I have redeemed you, I have called you by your name, you are Mine. Isaiah 43:1.

This stands for knowing character. Again in the same prophet,

Lift up your eyes on high and see; who created these? He who brings out their host by number; He will call them all by name. Isaiah 40:26.

This stands for His knowing them all. In Revelation,

You have a few names in Sardis, who have not soiled their garments. He who conquers will be clad in white garments and I will not blot his name out of the book of life; and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. Revelation 3:4-5.

Elsewhere in the same book,

Whose names have not been written in the book of life of the Lamb. Revelation 13:8.

In these places 'names' is in no way used to mean names but people's characters. Nor in heaven do they know anyone's name, only his character.
