1 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens :

2 Tu ergo, fili hominis, assume super Tyrum lamentum :

3 et dices Tyro, quæ habitat in introitu maris, negotiationi populorum ad insulas multas : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : O Tyre, tu dixisti : Perfecti decoris ego sum,

4 et in corde maris sita. Finitimi tui qui te ædificaverunt, impleverunt decorem tuum :

5 abietibus de Sanir exstruxerunt te cum omnibus tabulatis maris : cedrum de Libano tulerunt ut facerent tibi malum.

6 Quercus de Basan dolaverunt in remos tuos : et transtra tua fecerunt tibi ex ebore indico, et prætoriola de insulis Italiæ.

7 Byssus varia de Ægypto texta est tibi in velum ut poneretur in malo : hyacinthus et purpura de insulis Elisa facta sunt operimentum tuum.

8 Habitatores Sidonis et Aradii fuerunt remiges tui : sapientes tui, Tyre, facti sunt gubernatores tui.

9 Senes Giblii et prudentes ejus habuerunt nautas ad ministerium variæ supellectilis tuæ : omnes naves maris, et nautæ earum, fuerunt in populo negotiationis tuæ.

10 Persæ, et Lydii, et Libyes erant in exercitu tuo viri bellatores tui : clypeum et galeam suspenderunt in te pro ornatu tuo.

11 Filii Aradii cum exercitu tuo erant super muros tuos in circuitu : sed et Pigmæi, qui erant in turribus tuis, pharetras suas suspenderunt in muris tuis per gyrum : ipsi compleverunt pulchritudinem tuam.

12 Carthaginenses negotiatores tui, a multitudine cunctarum divitiarum, argento, ferro, stanno, plumboque, repleverunt nundinas tuas.

13 Græcia, Thubal, et Mosoch, ipsi institores tui : mancipia, et vasa ærea advexerunt populo tuo.

14 De domo Thogorma, equos, et equites, et mulos adduxerunt ad forum tuum.

15 Filii Dedan negotiatores tui : insulæ multæ, negotiatio manus tuæ : dentes eburneos et hebeninos commutaverunt in pretio tuo.

16 Syrus negotiator tuus propter multitudinem operum tuorum : gemmam, et purpuram, et scutulata, et byssum, et sericum, et chodchod proposuerunt in mercatu tuo.

17 Juda et terra Israël, ipsi institores tui in frumento primo : balsamum, et mel, et oleum, et resinam proposuerunt in nundinis tuis.

18 Damascenus negotiator tuus in multitudine operum tuorum, in multitudine diversarum opum, in vino pingui, in lanis coloris optimi.

19 Dan, et Græcia, et Mosel, in nundinis tuis proposuerunt ferrum fabrefactum : stacte et calamus in negotiatione tua.

20 Dedan institores tui in tapetibus ad sedendum.

21 Arabia et universi principes Cedar, ipsi negotiatores manus tuæ : cum agnis, et arietibus, et hædis, venerunt ad te negotiatores tui.

22 Venditores Saba et Reema, ipsi negotiatores tui : cum universis primis aromatibus, et lapide pretioso, et auro, quod proposuerunt in mercatu tuo.

23 Haran, et Chene, et Eden, negotiatores tui ; Saba, Assur, et Chelmad venditores tui.

24 Ipsi negotiatores tui multifariam involucris hyacinthi, et polymitorum, gazarumque pretiosarum, quæ obvolutæ et astrictæ erant funibus : cedros quoque habebant in negotiationibus tuis.

25 Naves maris, principes tui in negotiatione tua : et repleta es, et glorificata nimis in corde maris.

26 In aquis multis adduxerunt te remiges tui : ventus auster contrivit te in corde maris.

27 Divitiæ tuæ, et thesauri tui, et multiplex instrumentum tuum, nautæ tui et gubernatores tui, qui tenebant supellectilem tuam, et populo tuo præerant : viri quoque bellatores tui, qui erant in te, cum universa multitudine tua, quæ est in medio tui, cadent in corde maris in die ruinæ tuæ.

28 A sonitu clamoris gubernatorum tuorum conturbabuntur classes.

29 Et descendent de navibus suis omnes qui tenebant remum : nautæ et universi gubernatores maris in terra stabunt.

30 Et ejulabunt super te voce magna : et clamabunt amare, et superjacient pulverem capitibus suis, et cinere conspergentur.

31 Et radent super te calvitium, et accingentur ciliciis : et plorabunt te in amaritudine animæ, ploratu amarissimo.

32 Et assument super te carmen lugubre, et plangent te : Quæ est ut Tyrus, quæ obmutuit in medio maris ?

33 Quæ in exitu negotiatonum tuarum de mari implesti populos multos : in multitudine divitiarum tuarum, et populorum tuorum, ditasti reges terræ.

34 Nunc contrita es a mari : in profundis aquarum opes tuæ, et omnis multitudo tua, quæ erat in medio tui, ceciderunt.

35 Universi habitatores insularum obstupuerunt super te : et reges earum omnes tempestate perculsi mutaverunt vultus.

36 Negotiatores populorum sibilaverunt super te : ad nihilum deducta es, et non eris usque in perpetuum.

Apocalypse Explained # 50

50. Was in the isle that is called Patmos, signifies revelation to the nations. This is evident from the signification of "Patmos," as being the revelation contained in Revelation; for all places mentioned in the Word signify things, and the things they signify are from the worship there, or from some memorable event that occurred there, or from their location in or near countries whereby the religious principle of the nation is signified. "Patmos" signifies revelation, from the memorable fact that there a revelation was made to John. The revelation was made on an island, because an "island" signifies a nation remote from true worship, but still desiring to be enlightened. That this is signified by "islands" in the Word, will be clear from what follows; in the first place something shall be said about names of places in the Word signifying things.

All persons mentioned in the Word, and all by whom the Word was written, were led to places that were significant, in order that all things might be significative of spiritual things. Even the Lord Himself, for the same reason, went to places thus significative; as into Galilee, to Tyre and Sidon, to Jerusalem, and to the Mount of Olives there, and also, when an infant, He was carried into Egypt. It was similar with the prophets, and with many who are mentioned in the historical Word, as may be abundantly shown. For this reason, John also was commanded to betake himself into the isle of Patmos, that the things that are to be at the end of the church might there be revealed, because "island" signifies a nation about to accept truths of doctrine. This island, moreover, is in the archipelago, where there are numerous other islands; and from this also it is that by "Greece" in the Word such nations are signified. (Thus in Daniel 8:21, 10:20; 11:2; John 12:20-21; Mark 7:26.) (That all names of places mentioned in the Word signify things, see Arcana Coelestia (Arcana Coelestia 1224, 1264, 1876, 1888, 4310, 4442, 10329)

[2] That "islands" signify nations that are about to accede to the true worship of God, is evident from the following passages. In Isaiah:

Glorify Jehovah in Urim, the name of the God of Israel in the isles of the sea (Isaiah 24:15).

In the same:

He shall not quench nor break, until He have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall hope in His law. Sing unto Jehovah a new song, His praises, ye ends of the earth: ye that go down to the sea, the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. Let them give glory unto Jehovah, and declare His praise in the islands (Isaiah 42:4, 10, 12).

In the same:

Listen, O isles, unto Me, and hearken, ye peoples from afar (Isaiah 49:1).

In the same:

The isles shall hope in Me, and on My arm shall they trust (Isaiah 51:5).

In the same:

The islands shall trust in Me, and the ships of Tarshish (Isaiah 60:9).

In Jeremiah:

Hear the words of Jehovah, O ye nations, and declare them in the isles afar off (Jeremiah 31:10).

And in Zephaniah:

Jehovah will make lean all the gods of the earth, that they may worship Him, everyone in his place, even all the isles of the nations (Zephaniah 2:11).

(And elsewhere as in Isaiah 23:2, 6 (Isaiah 23:6); Isaiah 41:1, 5; 42:15; 66:19; Jeremiah 2:10; 25:22; Ezekiel 27:3 (Ezekiel 27:3), 7, 15, 35.) From these and other passages it is plain that "isles" signify nations, specifically nations in respect to the doctrine of truth, in other places in respect to the doctrine of falsity; for most things in the Word have also opposite significations.
