1 כִּי הִנֵּה בַּיָּמִים הָהֵמָּה וּבָעֵת הַהִיא אֲשֶׁר [כ= אָשׁוּב] [ק= אָשִׁיב] אֶת־שְׁבוּת יְהוּדָה וִירוּשָׁלִָם׃

2 וְקִבַּצְתִּי אֶת־כָּל־הַגֹּויִם וְהֹורַדְתִּים אֶל־עֵמֶק יְהֹושָׁפָט וְנִשְׁפַּטְתִּי עִםָּם שָׁם עַל־עַמִּי וְנַחֲלָתִי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר פִּזְּרוּ בַגֹּויִם וְאֶת־אַרְצִי חִלֵּקוּ׃

3 וְאֶל־עַמִּי יַדּוּ גֹורָל וַיִּתְּנוּ הַיֶּלֶד בַּזֹּונָה וְהַיַּלְדָּה מָכְרוּ בַיַּיִן וַיִּשְׁתּוּ׃

4 וְגַם מָה־אַתֶּם לִי צֹר וְצִידֹון וְכֹל גְּלִילֹות פְּלָשֶׁת הַגְּמוּל אַתֶּם מְשַׁלְּמִים עָלָי וְאִם־גֹּמְלִים אַתֶּם עָלַי קַל מְהֵרָה אָשִׁיב גְּמֻלְכֶם בְּרֹאשְׁכֶם׃

5 אֲשֶׁר־כַּסְפִּי וּזְהָבִי לְקַחְתֶּם וּמַחֲמַדַּי הַטֹּבִים הֲבֵאתֶם לְהֵיכְלֵיכֶם׃

6 וּבְנֵי יְהוּדָה וּבְנֵי יְרוּשָׁלִַם מְכַרְתֶּם לִבְנֵי הַיְּוָנִים לְמַעַן הַרְחִיקָם מֵעַל גְּבוּלָם׃

7 הִנְנִי מְעִירָם מִן־הַמָּקֹום אֲשֶׁר־מְכַרְתֶּם אֹתָם שָׁמָּה וַהֲשִׁבֹתִי גְמֻלְכֶם בְּרֹאשְׁכֶם׃

8 וּמָכַרְתִּי אֶת־בְּנֵיכֶם וְאֶת־בְּנֹותֵיכֶם בְּיַד בְּנֵי יְהוּדָה וּמְכָרוּם לִשְׁבָאיִם אֶל־גֹּוי רָחֹוק כִּי יְהוָה דִּבֵּר׃ ס

9 קִרְאוּ־זֹאת בַּגֹּויִם קַדְּשׁוּ מִלְחָמָה הָעִירוּ הַגִּבֹּורִים יִגְּשׁוּ יַעֲלוּ כֹּל אַנְשֵׁי הַמִּלְחָמָה׃

10 כֹּתּוּ אִתֵּיכֶם לַחֲרָבֹות וּמַזְמְרֹתֵיכֶם לִרְמָחִים הַחַלָּשׁ יֹאמַר גִּבֹּור אָנִי׃

11 עוּשׁוּ וָבֹאוּ כָל־הַגֹּויִם מִסָּבִיב וְנִקְבָּצוּ שָׁמָּה הַנְחַת יְהוָה גִּבֹּורֶיךָ׃

12 יֵעֹורוּ וְיַעֲלוּ הַגֹּויִם אֶל־עֵמֶק יְהֹושָׁפָט כִּי שָׁם אֵשֵׁב לִשְׁפֹּט אֶת־כָּל־הַגֹּויִם מִסָּבִיב׃

13 שִׁלְחוּ מַגָּל כִּי בָשַׁל קָצִיר בֹּאוּ רְדוּ כִּי־מָלְאָה גַּת הֵשִׁיקוּ הַיְקָבִים כִּי רַבָּה רָעָתָם׃

14 הֲמֹונִים הֲמֹונִים בְּעֵמֶק הֶחָרוּץ כִּי קָרֹוב יֹום יְהוָה בְּעֵמֶק הֶחָרוּץ׃

15 שֶׁמֶשׁ וְיָרֵחַ קָדָרוּ וְכֹוכָבִים אָסְפוּ נָגְהָם׃

16 וַיהוָה מִצִּיֹּון יִשְׁאָג וּמִירוּשָׁלִַם יִתֵּן קֹולֹו וְרָעֲשׁוּ שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ וַיהוָה מַחֲסֶה לְעַמֹּו וּמָעֹוז לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃

17 וִידַעְתֶּם כִּי אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם שֹׁכֵן בְּצִיֹּון הַר־קָדְשִׁי וְהָיְתָה יְרוּשָׁלִַם קֹדֶשׁ וְזָרִים לֹא־יַעַבְרוּ־בָהּ עֹוד׃ ס

18 וְהָיָה בַיֹּום הַהוּא יִטְּפוּ הֶהָרִים עָסִיס וְהַגְּבָעֹות תֵּלַכְנָה חָלָב וְכָל־אֲפִיקֵי יְהוּדָה יֵלְכוּ מָיִם וּמַעְיָן מִבֵּית יְהוָה יֵצֵא וְהִשְׁקָה אֶת־נַחַל הַשִּׁטִּים׃

19 מִצְרַיִם לִשְׁמָמָה תִהְיֶה וֶאֱדֹום לְמִדְבַּר שְׁמָמָה תִּהְיֶה מֵחֲמַס בְּנֵי יְהוּדָה אֲשֶׁר־שָׁפְכוּ דָם־נָקִיא בְּאַרְצָם׃

20 וִיהוּדָה לְעֹולָם תֵּשֵׁב וִירוּשָׁלִַם לְדֹור וָדֹור׃

21 וְנִקֵּיתִי דָּםָם לֹא־נִקֵּיתִי וַיהוָה שֹׁכֵן בְּצִיֹּון׃

Apocalypse Revealed # 471

471. And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. (10:3) This symbolizes a grievous lamentation that the church was taken from Him.

That to cry aloud as when a lion roars symbolizes a grievous lamentation over the church, which was taken from Him, is apparent from the explanations in the preceding chapter, where the states of life of people in the church were examined and exposed, states that were lamentable. It is apparent also from the following declaration in this chapter, that the angel swore by Him who lives forever and ever that there should be no more time, which symbolically means that there would be no more church. And in the next chapter as well, that the beast ascending from the bottomless pit killed His two witnesses. Especially is it apparent from the fact that people do not acknowledge the Lord and turn to Him, even though He is God of heaven and earth.

A lamentation over this is what the angel's roaring like a lion symbolizes; for a lion roars when it sees its enemies and is attacked by them, and when it sees its young or its prey carried off. The same is comparatively the case with the Lord when He sees His church carried off by devils.

[2] That this is the symbolic meaning of roaring like a lion can be seen from the following passages:

As a lion roars, and a young lion over his prey, when a multitude of shepherds comes against him..., so Jehovah of Hosts will come down to fight upon Mount Zion... (Isaiah 31:4)

...the anger of Jehovah is kindled against His people... His roaring is like that of a lion, He roars like young lions; He growls and lays hold of the prey... (For) behold, darkness and distress; and the light is darkened in its ruins. (Isaiah 5:25-30)

Jehovah will roar from on high, and utter His voice from His holy habitation; He will roar mightily against His habitations. (Jeremiah 25:30)

Jehovah will roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem. (Joel 3:16)

I will not... destroy Ephraim... They shall go after Jehovah. He will roar like a lion, for He will roar... (Hosea 11:9-10)

A lion roars. Who does not fear? The Lord Jehovih has spoken. Who will not prophesy? (Amos 3:8)

(God) roars with His voice; He thunders with His majestic voice... (Job 37:4-5)

That roaring symbolizes a grievous lamentation is clear from the following passages:

...my bones grew old through my roaring all the day long. (Psalms 32:3)

I am feeble and worn; I have roared because of the roaring of my heart. (Psalms 38:8)

...my sighing comes before bread, and my roarings pour out like water. (Job 3:24)
