Men du Belsasar, hans sønn, har ikke ydmyket ditt hjerte, enda du visste alt dette;
Daniel 8:11
11
Ja, like til hærens fyrste hevet det sig; det tok fra ham det stadige offer, og hans helligdoms bolig blev omstyrtet.
Arcana Coelestia # 7947
7947. 'And it happened at midnight' means a state of nothing but falsity arising from evil. This is clear from the meaning of 'midnight' as vastation when completed, dealt with in 7776, that is, an absence of anything good or true, consequently a state of nothing but falsity arising from evil. As regards its being a state of evil, see 2357, 6000, 7870.
