Voice

  

'Voice' signifies what is announced from the Word. 'Voice' often refers and is applied to things that cannot have a voice, as in Exodus 4, Nahum 3:2, Psalms 93:3-4.

A 'voice' signifies annunciation, and in a positive sense, annunciation from the Word, which is called 'the voice of Jehovah,' as is shown in Psalms 29:3-9 and Psalms 68:33, where 'voice' denotes divine truth, so the Word and annunciation from it.

'Voice' signifies the quality of interior things.

'Voice,' as in Revelation 19, signifies joy in worship, confession, and celebration of the Lord.

'A great voice heard in heaven,' as in Revelation 12:10, signifies the joy of the angels of heaven from the light and wisdom.

'A great voice,' as in Revelation 16:1, signifies the divine command.

'A great voice out of the temple of heaven,' as in Revelation 16:17, signifies a manifestation from the Lord out of the inmost of heaven.

'A great voice,' as in Revelation 21:3, signifies speech proceeding from love.

'One voice,' as in Revelation 9:13, signifies a divine command.

9660. 'Sixteen bases' means total support. This is clear from the meaning of 'sixteen' as that which is total, 'sixteen' being similar in meaning to 'eight' since multiple numbers have a similar meaning to the simple ones of which they are the products, 5291, 5335, 5708, 7973, and 'eight' means what is complete and what is so in every respect, as shown immediately above in 9659, thus that which is total; and from the meaning of 'bases' as support, dealt with in 9643.
