നാനൂറ്റി മുപ്പതു സംവത്സരം കഴിഞ്ഞിട്ടു, ആ ദിവസം തന്നെ, യഹോവയുടെ ഗണങ്ങള് ഒക്കെയും മിസ്രയീംദേശത്തുനിന്നു പുറപ്പെട്ടു.

8012. 'And no uncircumcised person shall eat it' means that no one ruled by self-love and love of the world may be together with them. This is clear from the meaning of one who is 'uncircumcised' as one who is ruled by self-love and love of the world, dealt with in 2056, 3412, 3413, 7045; and from the meaning of 'eating it' - eating the Passover - as being together with them, dealt with above in 8001.
2117. THE LAST JUDGEMENT
Few nowadays know what the Last Judgement is. They imagine that it is going to be accompanied by the destruction of the world; and this leads to conjectures that this earth, together with everything else in the visible world, is going to be destroyed by fire. They also conjecture that then for the first time the dead will rise again and appear for judgement, and the evil are to be cast into hell and the good to rise up to heaven. These conjectures are based on the prophetical parts of the Word where references are made to a new heaven and a new earth, and also to a New Jerusalem. Such people do not realize that the prophetical parts of the Word have a meaning altogether different in the internal sense from what appears in the sense of the letter, and that 'heaven' is not used to mean heaven, nor 'the earth' to mean the earth, but the Lord's Church in general, and as it exists with each individual in particular.
