1848. Verse 14 And also the nation which they are going to serve will I judge; and afterwards they will go out with great acquisitions. 'Also the nation which they are going to serve' means the evil who oppress. 'Will I judge' means visitation and judgement. 'And afterwards they will go out with great acquisitions' means release, and that they will possess celestial and spiritual goods.

3171. 'And they rose up in the morning' means a degree of raising up. This is clear from the meaning of 'rising up' as implying a raising up, dealt with in 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927, and from the meaning of 'the morning' as the Lord, also His kingdom, as well as the state of peace which this brings, dealt with in 2405, 2780. The natural is said to be raised up when spiritual things are made over to it as its own. All raising up originates in spiritual and celestial things, for it is by means of these that a person is raised up to heaven and so nearer to the Lord.
