1 Ο λογος ο γενομενος προς τον Ιερεμιαν παρα Κυριου, λεγων,

2 Ουτως ειπε Κυριος ο Θεος του Ισραηλ, λεγων, Γραψον εις σεαυτον εν βιβλιω παντας τους λογους, τους οποιους ελαλησα προς σε·

3 διοτι, ιδου, ερχονται ημεραι, λεγει Κυριος, και θελω επιστρεψει την αιχμαλωσιαν του λαου μου Ισραηλ και Ιουδα, λεγει Κυριος· και θελω επιστρεψει αυτους εις την γην, την οποιαν εδωκα εις τους πατερας αυτων, και θελουσι κυριευσει αυτην.

4 Και ουτοι ειναι οι λογοι, τους οποιους ελαλησε Κυριος περι του Ισραηλ και περι του Ιουδα.

5 Διοτι ουτω λεγει Κυριος· Ηκουσαμεν φωνην τρομεραν, φοβον και ουχι ειρηνην.

6 Ερωτησατε τωρα και ιδετε, εαν αρσεν τικτη· δια τι βλεπω εκαστον ανδρα με τας χειρας αυτου επι την οσφυν αυτου, ως τικτουσαν, και παντα τα προσωπα εστραφησαν εις ωχριασιν;

7 Ουαι· διοτι μεγαλη ειναι η ημερα εκεινη· ομοια αυτης δεν υπηρξε και ειναι καιρος της στενοχωριας του Ιακωβ· πλην θελει σωθη εξ αυτης.

8 Και εν τη ημερα εκεινη, λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων, θελω συντριψει τον ζυγον αυτου απο του τραχηλου σου και θελω διασπασει τα δεσμα σου και ξενοι δεν θελουσι πλεον καταδουλωσει αυτον·

9 αλλα θελουσι δουλευει Κυριον τον Θεον αυτων και Δαβιδ τον βασιλεα αυτων, τον οποιον θελω αναστησει εις αυτους.

10 Συ δε μη φοβου, δουλε μου Ιακωβ, λεγει Κυριος· μηδε δειλιασης, Ισραηλ· διοτι, ιδου, θελω σε σωσει απο του μακρυνου τοπου και το σπερμα σου απο της γης της αιχμαλωσιας αυτων· και ο Ιακωβ θελει επιστρεψει και θελει ησυχασει και αναπαυθη και δεν θελει υπαρχει ο εκφοβων.

11 Διοτι εγω ειμαι μετα σου, λεγει Κυριος, δια να σε σωσω· και αν καμω συντελειαν παντων των εθνων οπου σε διεσκορπισα, εις σε ομως δεν θελω καμει συντελειαν, αλλα θελω σε παιδευσει εν κρισει και δεν θελω ολως σε αθωωσει.

12 Διοτι ουτω λεγει Κυριος· Το συντριμμα σου ειναι ανιατον, η πληγη σου αλγεινη.

13 δεν υπαρχει ο κρινων την κρισιν σου, ωστε να ανορθωθης· δεν υπαρχουσι δια σε φαρμακα θεραπευτικα.

14 Παντες οι αγαπητοι σου σε ελησμονησαν· δεν σε ζητουσι· διοτι σε επληγωσα εν πληγη εχθρου, εν τιμωρια σκληρα, εξ αιτιας του πληθους των ανομιων σου· αι αμαρτιαι σου επληθυνθησαν.

15 Τι βοας δια το συντριμμα σου; ο πονος σου ειναι ανιατος εξ αιτιας του πληθους των ανομιων σου· αι αμαρτιαι σου επληθυνθησαν· δια τουτο εκαμον ταυτα εις σε.

16 Δια τουτο παντες οι κατατρωγοντες σε θελουσι καταφαγωθη· και παντες οι εναντιοι σου, παντες ομου θελουσιν υπαγει εις αιχμαλωσιαν· και οι λαφυραγωγουντες σε θελουσι γεινει λαφυρον και παντας τους διαρπαζοντας σε θελω δωσει εις διαρπαγην.

17 Διοτι θελω αποκαταστησει την υγιειαν εις σε και θελω σε ιατρευσει απο των πληγων σου, λεγει Κυριος· διοτι αυτοι σε ωνομασαν Απερριμμενην, λεγοντες, Αυτη ειναι η Σιων· δεν υπαρχει ο ζητων αυτην.

18 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος. Ιδου, εγω θελω επιστρεψει απο της αιχμαλωσιας τας σκηνας του Ιακωβ και θελω οικτειρει τας κατοικιας αυτου· και η πολις θελει οικοδομηθη επι των ερειπιων αυτης, και ο ναος θελει αποκατασταθη κατα την διαταξιν αυτου.

19 Και εξ αυτων θελει εξερχεσθαι ευχαριστια και φωνη αγαλλομενων· και θελω πολλαπλασιασει αυτους και δεν θελουσιν ολιγοστευσει· και θελω δοξασει αυτους και δεν θελουσι σμικρυνθη.

20 Και τα τεκνα αυτων θελουσιν εισθαι ως το προτερον, και η συναγωγη αυτων θελει στερεωθη ενωπιον μου, και θελω τιμωρησει παντας τους καταθλιβοντας αυτους.

21 Και ο αρχων αυτων θελει εισθαι εξ αυτων και ο εξουσιαστης αυτων θελει εξερχεσθαι εκ μεσου αυτων· και θελω καμει αυτον να πλησιαζη και θελει πλησιαζει εις εμε· διοτι τις ειναι ουτος, οστις εγγυαται την καρδιαν αυτου δια να πλησιαζη προς εμε; λεγει Κυριος.

22 Και θελετε εισθαι λαος μου και εγω θελω εισθαι Θεος υμων.

23 Ιδου, ανεμοστροβιλος παρα Κυριου εξηλθε με ορμην, ανεμοστροβιλος αφανιζων· θελει εξορμησει επι την κεφαλην των ασεβων.

24 Ο φλογερος θυμος του Κυριου δεν θελει επιστρεψει, εωσου εκτελεση και εωσου εκπληρωση τας βουλας της καρδιας αυτου· εν ταις εσχαταις ημεραις θελετε νοησει τουτο.

704. That perform signs to go away to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. This symbolizes assertions that their falsities are true, and efforts to stir up all those throughout the church who are caught up in the same falsities to attack the truths of the New Church.

To perform signs is to testify and also to assert that something is true, as may be seen in nos. 598, 599 above, here that their falsities are true. Kings of the earth and of the whole world symbolize people who are caught up primarily in falsities springing from evil, here all who are caught up in the same falsities throughout the church. For kings symbolize people impelled by truths that spring from goodness, and in an opposite sense people impelled by falsities springing from evil (no. 483). The earth symbolizes the church (no. 285), and so likewise does the world (no. 551). To go away to gather them to battle means, symbolically, to stir those people to fight or attack; for war symbolizes a spiritual war, which is one of falsity against truth and of truth against falsity (nos. 500, 586). It is to attack the truths of the New Church because it is called the battle of that great day of God Almighty, and that day symbolizes the Lord's advent and a new church then. That this is the symbolic meaning of the great day there will be seen below.

We are told that the spirits of demons would do this, because the spirits of demons symbolize lusts to falsify truths and to reason on the basis of falsities, as just said in no. 703 above.

It is apparent from this that spirits of demons performing signs to go away to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty, symbolize assertions by the people meant by the dragon, the beast and the false prophet, as described in nos. 701, 702 above, that their falsities are true, and efforts to stir up all those throughout the church who are caught up in the same falsities to attack the truths of the New Church.

[2] That the great day of God Almighty symbolizes the Lord's advent and a new church then, is clear from many passages in the Word, as from the following:

Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day. (Isaiah 2:11)

...in that day... Israel... will depend on Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. (Isaiah 10:20)

In that day a Root of Jesse... shall the Gentiles seek, and His resting place shall be glorious. (Isaiah 11:10-11)

In that day... eyes will look to the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 17:7, 9)

They will say in that day: "Behold, this is our God; we have waited for Him, to set us free." (Isaiah 25:9)

...My people shall know My name...(and) in that day, I am He who speaks: "Behold, it is I." (Isaiah 52:6)

Alas! ...great is (the day of Jehovah, and) there is none like it. (Jeremiah 30:7)

Behold, the days are coming... when I will make a new covenant... and the city shall be built for Jehovah... (Jeremiah 31:27, 31, 38)

In those days... I will cause to grow up to David a righteous Branch... (Jeremiah 33:15)

(They will not) stand in battle on the day of Jehovah. (Ezekiel 13:5)

In that day Michael shall stand up, the great prince who stands watch over the children of your people... In that day... shall be delivered everyone who is found written in the book. (Daniel 12:1)

...in that day... you will call Me "My Husband."... In that day I will make a covenant for them... ...in that day I will hear... (Hosea 2:16, 18, 21).

Behold, I am sending you Elijah... before the coming of the great... day of Jehovah. (Malachi 4:5)

Jehovah... will save them in that day, as the flock of His people. (Zechariah 9:16)

In that day Jehovah will protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem. (Zechariah 12:8)

Behold, the day of Jehovah is coming... It shall be one day which is known to Jehovah... In that day Jehovah shall be one and His name one... In that day there shall be a great tumult... In that day "Holiness to the Lord" shall be engraved on the bells of the horses. (Zechariah 14:1, 4, 6-9, 13, 20-21)

There are many other passages in addition to these in which "the day of Jehovah" means the Lord's advent and a new church from Him then, as in the following: Isaiah 4:2; 19:16, 18, 21, 24; 22:20; 28:5; 29:18; 30:25-26; 31:7; and elsewhere.

Since the end of an age or final period of a former church is the time when the Lord's advent takes place and a new church begins, therefore the day of Jehovah in many places symbolizes the end of a previous church, and we are told that then there will be rumors, tumult, and wars. 1 See the passages collected in The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Regarding the Lord, nos. 4, 5.

1 "In that day there will be a spring opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.

2 It will come to pass in that day, says Yahweh of Armies, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they will be remembered no more. I will also cause the prophets and the spirit of impurity to pass out of the land.

3 It will happen that, when anyone still prophesies, then his father and his mother who bore him will tell him, 'You must die, because you speak lies in the name of Yahweh;' and his father and his mother who bore him will stab him when he prophesies.

4 It will happen in that day, that the prophets will each be ashamed of his vision, when he prophesies; neither will they wear a hairy mantle to deceive:

5 but he will say, 'I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for I have been made a bondservant from my youth.'

6 One will say to him, 'What are these wounds between your arms?' Then he will answer, 'Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.'

7 "Awake, sword, against my shepherd, and against the man who is close to me," says Yahweh of Armies. "Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; and I will turn my hand against the little ones.

8 It shall happen that in all the land," says Yahweh, "two parts in it will be cut off and die; but the third will be left in it.

9 I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will test them like gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say, 'It is my people;' and they will say, 'Yahweh is my God.'"
