Jeremiah 50:9

Studie

       

9 For lo, I will raise and cause to come against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.

644. 14:15 And another angel came out of the temple. This symbolizes the angelic heaven.

The symbolic meaning of an angel or angels may be seen in nos. 5, 65, 170, 258, 342, 343, 344, 415, 465 above. Here it is the angelic heaven, because we are told that the angel came out of the temple, and a temple symbolizes heaven in respect to the church (nos. 191, 529, 585). For the church exists in heaven just as much as on earth.

Matthew 13:24-30

Studie

      

24 He set another parable before them, saying, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,

25 but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also among the wheat, and went away.

26 But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the darnel weeds appeared also.

27 The servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where did this darnel come from?'

28 "He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' "The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and gather them up?'

29 "But he said, 'No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.

30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, "First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"
