1 И было ко мне слово Господне:

2 сын человеческий! обрати лице твое к Гогу в земле Магог, князю Роша, Мешеха и Фувала, и изреки на него пророчество

3 и скажи: так говорит Господь Бог: вот, Я – на тебя, Гог, князь Роша, Мешеха и Фувала!

4 И поверну тебя, и вложу удила в челюсти твои, и выведу тебя и всевойско твое, коней и всадников, всех в полном вооружении, большое полчище, в бронях и со щитами, всех вооруженных мечами,

5 Персов, Ефиоплян и Ливийцев с ними, всех со щитами и в шлемах,

6 Гомера со всеми отрядами его, дом Фогарма, от пределов севера, со всеми отрядами его,многие народы с тобою.

7 Готовься и снаряжайся, ты и все полчища твои, собравшиеся к тебе, и будь им вождем.

8 После многих дней ты понадобишься; в последние годы ты придешь вземлю, избавленную от меча, собранную из многих народов, на горыИзраилевы, которые были в постоянном запустении, но теперь жители ее будут возвращены из народов, и все они будут жить безопасно.

9 И поднимешься, как буря, пойдешь, как туча, чтобы покрыть землю, ты и все полчища твои и многие народы с тобою.

10 Так говорит Господь Бог: в тот день придут тебе на сердце мысли, и ты задумаешь злое предприятие

11 и скажешь: „поднимусь я на землю неогражденную, пойду на беззаботных, живущих беспечно, – все они живут без стен, и нет у них ни запоров, нидверей, –

12 чтобы произвести грабеж и набрать добычи, наложить руку на вновь заселенные развалины и на народ, собранный из народов, занимающийся хозяйством и торговлею, живущий на вершине земли".

13 Сава и Дедан и купцы Фарсисские со всеми молодыми львами их скажут тебе: „ты пришел, чтобы произвести грабеж, собралполчище твое, чтобы набрать добычи, взять серебро и золото, отнять скот и имущество, захватить большую добычу?"

14 Посему изреки пророчество, сын человеческий, и скажи Гогу: так говорит Господь Бог: не так ли? в тот день, когда народ Мой Израиль будет жить безопасно, ты узнаешь это;

15 и пойдешь с места твоего, от пределов севера, ты и многие народы с тобою, все сидящие на конях, сборище великое и войско многочисленное.

16 И поднимешься на народ Мой, на Израиля, как туча, чтобы покрыть землю: это будет в последние дни, и Я приведу тебя на землю Мою, чтобы народы узнали Меня, когдаЯ над тобою, Гог, явлю святость Мою пред глазами их.

17 Так говорит Господь Бог: не ты ли тот самый, о котором Я говорил в древние дни чрез рабов Моих, пророков Израилевых, которые пророчествовали в те времена, что Я приведу тебя на них?

18 И будет в тот день, когда Гог придет на землю Израилеву, говорит Господь Бог, гнев Мой воспылает в ярости Моей.

19 И в ревности Моей, в огне негодования Моего Я сказал: истинно в тот день произойдет великое потрясение на земле Израилевой.

20 И вострепещут от лица Моего рыбы морские и птицы небесные, и звери полевые и все пресмыкающееся, ползающее по земле, и все люди, которые на лице земли, и обрушатся горы, и упадут утесы, и все стены падут наземлю.

21 И по всем горам Моим призову меч против него, говорит Господь Бог; меч каждого человека будет против брата его.

22 И буду судиться с ним моровою язвоюи кровопролитием, и пролью на него и на полки его и на многие народы, которые с ним, всепотопляющий дождь и каменный град, огонь и серу;

23 и покажу Мое величие и святость Мою, и явлю Себя пред глазами многих народов, и узнают, что Я Господь.

Apocalypse Explained #404

404. Verse 14. And the heaven departed as a book rolled up, signifies that the spiritual man became closed up. This is evident from the signification of "heaven," as being the church in general and in particular; for the church is the heaven of the Lord on the earth; moreover, the church makes one with heaven by conjunction; therefore when "heaven and earth" are mentioned in the Word, the church internal and external is meant, for the internal of the men of the church is heaven with them, and their external is the world with them; and as "heaven and earth" signify the church internal and external so they signify the internal and external man, or the spiritual and the natural man; for as man in whom is the good of love and of faith is a church, so the church, in general exists from the men in whom the church is. This makes clear why it is that "heaven" here means the internal or spiritual man. It is said "the spiritual man," by which is meant the spiritual mind, which is the higher or interior mind of man, while the lower or exterior mind is called the natural man. The above is evident also from the signification of "departed as a book rolled up," as meaning that it became closed up; for the spiritual mind, which is, as was said, the higher or interior mind with man, is opened by truths applied to life, thus by goods, but it is closed up by falsities applied to life, thus by evils; and the closing up is as the rolling up of the scroll of a book. That this is so was made very clear by the appearances in the spiritual world when the Last Judgment was accomplished; for the mountains and the hills there then appeared sometimes to be rolled up as the scroll of a book is rolled up, and those that were upon them were then rolled down into hell. The cause of this appearance was this: that the interiors of their minds, through which somewhat of light from heaven had before flowed in, were then closed up. What takes place in general with many, takes place with everyone in particular of a like character, for in the spiritual world such as the general is, such is the particular (See in the work on Heaven and Hell 73). By "book" is meant a scroll, because in ancient times there were no types and thus no books like those at the present day, but there were scrolls of parchments; so "books" in Revelation mean scrolls, and "heaven departed as a book rolled up" means as a scroll rolled up; the same as in Isaiah:

All the host of the heavens shall waste away, and the heavens shall be rolled up as a book (Isaiah 34:4).

Arcana Coelestia #10335

10335. 'And I, behold, I have appointed with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, belonging to the tribe of Dan' means those in whom the good and truth of faith are present, among whom the Church is to be established. This is clear from the representation of 'Aholiab' as those in whom the good and truth of faith are present. The reason why these are represented by Aholiab is that he was from the tribe of Dan, and that tribe means those in whom the good and truth of faith are present, see 3923, 6396. And the reason why these two - Bezalel from the tribe of Judah, and Aholiab from the tribe of Dan - were chosen to carry out the work, by which Divine celestial and spiritual realities would be represented, was that by Bezalel all those in whom the good of love is present should be understood, and by Aholiab all those in whom the good and truth of faith are present. Thus those who are in the inmost parts of heaven and the Church should be understood by Bezalel, and those who are in the last and lowest parts of them by Aholiab. And when they who are inmost and those who are last and lowest are referred to by name, all who are within the whole of heaven and within the whole of the Church should be understood. For this matter, see above in 10329; and when reference is made to what is first and what is last all things should be understood, 10044.

[2] The tribe of Judah was also in reality the first of the tribes, and the tribe of Dan the last of them. The fact that the tribe of Judah was in reality the first of the tribes is clear from father Israel's blessing of his sons in Genesis 49, where Reuben, Simeon, and Levi, who were the firstborn, are cursed, and Judah is blessed. See regarding Reuben there, verses 3, 4; regarding Simeon and Levi, verses 5-7; and regarding Judah, verses 8-12. And the fact that Dan was the last of the tribes, see 1710, 3923, 6396. The inmost heaven furthermore is inhabited by those in whom the good of love to the Lord exists, and the lowest by those in whom the truth of faith springing from good is present. The expression 'in whom the truth of faith springing from good is present' is used because the truth of faith is not the truth of faith present in a person unless it springs from good; for truth is born from good. Therefore unless good resides within truth there is no soul and so no life within it. Those in whom the truths of faith springing from good are present inhabit the lowest parts of heaven, but not those in whom the truths of faith are devoid of good; the latter do not inhabit heaven. Since the truth of faith acts as a servant to the good of love, as what is last does to what is first, it says of Aholiab that Jehovah appointed him to be with Bezalel, that is, to be his assistant; and of Bezalel it says that Jehovah filled him with the spirit of God in wisdom, and in intelligence, and in knowledge, and in all [manner of] work, verse 3.
