25. 'Spreading out the earth and stretching out the heavens' is a common expression in the Prophets when the subject is man's regeneration, as in Isaiah,

Thus said Jehovah, your Redeemer, He who formed you from the womb, I am Jehovah who makes all things, who stretches out the heavens Alone, and who spreads out the earth by Myself. Isaiah 44:24.

Also, when it is speaking of the Lord's Coming,

A bruised reed He does not break off and a smoking wick He does not quench; He brings forth judgement towards truth; that is, He neither shatters man's illusions nor stifles his desires. Instead He bends them towards truth and good. This verse in Isaiah continues,

The God Jehovah creates the heavens and stretches them out: He spreads out the earth and what comes from it: He gives breath 1 to the people upon it, and spirit to those who walk on it. Isaiah 42:3-5.

Such phrases recur several times elsewhere.

7133. 'Saying, Finish your work, your stint for the day' means that they should serve falsities so called in every state. This is clear from the meaning of 'finishing your work' as serving falsities (for fabrications and falsities which are introduced are meant by 'making bricks', see 7113, and since these are the work which they were to finish, an insistence that they should serve them is meant; the expression 'falsities so called' is used because falsities are considered by the evil who utter them to be not falsities but truths); and from the meaning of 'stint for the day' as in every state - 'day' meaning state, see 23, 487, 488, 493, 893, 2788, 3462, 3785, 4850.
