Arcana Coelestia # 1220
1220. 'Eber' means the new Church which is to be called the second Ancient Church. This is clear from what appears below where Eber is the specific subject. 'Eber' is mentioned here because that new Church sprang from him. As regards Eber and this second Ancient Church, they will in the Lord's Divine mercy be discussed in what follows.
Ezekiel 25:15-17
15
Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with despite of soul to destroy with perpetual enmity;
16
therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, Behold, I will stretch out my hand on the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
17
I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes; and they shall know that I am Yahweh, when I shall lay my vengeance on them.
