Ezekiel 39:4

Study

       

4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou and all thy bands, and thy nations that are with thee: I have given thee to the wild beasts, to the birds, and to every fowl, and to the beasts of the earth to be devoured.

Commentarius

 

Nations

  

'Nations,' as in Jeremiah 25:31, signify falsities. In Genesis 25:23, 'two nations in the womb' signify the natural regarding interior and exterior good. In general, 'nations' signify people in the good of love and charity from the Lord.

(Notae: Apocalypse Revealed 667; Ezekiel 15, 29, 29:15; Micah 7, Micah 7:14-17)
