8 After many days you shall be visited: in the latter years you shall come into the land that is brought back from the sword, that is gathered out of many peoples, on the mountains of Israel, which have been a continual waste; but it is brought forth out of the peoples, and they shall dwell securely, all of them.

Pestilence

  

In 2 Kings 1:2; Psalm 38:7; Exodus 15:26; Luke 6:17, this signifies temptations, and corresponds with the state of the man's spirit. (Arcana Coelestia 5711)

In Deuteronomy 7:15, this signifies the evils which assail people in faith separate from charity, and so in a life of evil. (Arcana Coelestia 8364)

In Matthew 4:24, disease or illness signifies various kinds of evils and falsities infesting the church and the human race, which if allowed to continue, would have induced spiritual death. (Arcana Coelestia 8364) 'Pestilence' denotes the vastation of good and truth.

Shield and helmet

  

'A shield and helmet' are things that pertain to spiritual war. 'The habitation of Shiloh,' as in Psalm 78:60-61, signifies the church which is principled in the good of love.
