611. Verse 7. But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, signifies the last state of the church, and revelation at that time of Divine truth. This is evident from the signification of "the days of the voice of the seventh angel," as being the last state of the church; for as the progressive changes of the state of the church are described by the sounding of the seven angels, so "the voice of the seventh angel" signifies the last state; also from the signification of "when he is about to sound," as being the revelation at that time of Divine truth. That "to sound a trumpet or horn" signifies the influx of Divine truth and revelation of it, may be seen above n. 502; here the revelation of it is signified, as is evident from the rest of this verse, where it is said "the mystery of God shall also be finished, as He hath declared the good tidings to His servants the prophets," which signifies that the prediction respecting the Lord's coming shall then be fulfilled. With the Lord's coming there is also a revelation of Divine truth.

'Samson' represents the Lord when He fought against the hells and subdued them because of His natural self regarding truth. This was before He put on divine good and truth regarding His natural self. 'Samson' represents the only Nazarite, that is, the Lord and the power of His righteousness, who subjugated all diabolical spirits and conquered death.
