95. 2. From the Prophets

Like as the lion roareth and the young lion over his prey; so shall Jehovah of Hosts come down to fight upon mount Zion and upon the hill thereof. As birds flying, so will Jehovah of Hosts protect Jerusalem; in protecting also He will deliver it; and in passing over He will free it (Isaiah 31:4-5).

Fear not, thou worm, Jacob, and ye men of Israel about to perish, saith Jehovah, and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. Behold, I have made thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth; thou shalt thresh the mountains and beat them small, and make the hills as chaff. Thou shalt disperse that the wind may carry them away; but thou shalt exult in Jehovah, thou shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel (Isaiah 41:14-16). Concerning the Last Judgment and the subjugation of the hells. I will open rivers upon the hillsides and place fountains in the midst of the valleys; the wilderness I will make a pool of waters, and the dry land springs of water. I will place in the desert the cedar of Shittah; that they may see and know and attend, and understand together, that the hand of Jehovah hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it (Isaiah 41:18-20). Concerning the New Church and the understanding of truth after that time.

Jehovah shall go forth as a mighty man; as a man of wars He shall stir up zeal: He shall cry, yea, He shall shout aloud; over His enemies He shall prevail (Isaiah 42:13).
