Habakkuk 3:17
17
Thi Figentræet blomstrer ikke, Vinstokken giver intet, Olietræets Afgrøde svigter, Markerne giver ej Føde. Fårene svandt af Folden, i Staldene findes ej Okser.

Apocalypse Explained #319
319. Verse 7. And He came and took the book out of the right hand of Him that sat upon the throne, signifies that these things are from His Divine Human. This is evident from the signification of the "the Lamb," who took the book out of the right hand of Him that sat upon the throne, as being the Lord in respect to the Divine Human (See above, n. 314; "the right hand of Him that sat upon the throne" meaning the Lord in respect to omnipotence and omniscience (See also above, n. 297, 298). From this it is that "He came and took the book out of the right hand of Him that sat upon the throne" signifies that these are from the Divine Human. Omnipotence and omniscience are meant also because this is what is here treated of, as can be seen from the preceding words, that "the Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes;" "the seven horns" signifying omnipotence, and "the seven eyes" omniscience (See just above, n. 316, 317), and "the Lamb" the Divine Human n. 314. That omnipotence and omniscience belong to the Lord's Divine Human, can be seen from what has been said and shown above (n. 10, 26, 32, 49, 52, 63, 77, 82, 97[1-2], 113-114, 135, 137, 151, 178, 200, 205 end, 209, 254, 297, 309).
