Commentary

 

Tumult

  

In 1 Samuel 4:14, a tumult signifies divine truth descending toward lower things. (Arcana Coelestia 8823)

In Isaiah 33:3, it signifies the dismay of people in the church when they are visited by a Last Judgment, and their evils are disclosed. (Apocalypse Explained 659[22])

In Zechariah 14:13, tumult signifies the last state of the old church, involving a great change; and a combat against the love of evil. (Apocalypse Explained 650[42])

In Psalm 65:7, it signifies the disputations and reasoning of those people beneath heaven who are natural and sensuous. (Apocalypse Explained 706[23])

'A tumult,' or 'uproar,' as in Isaiah 13:4, signifies an eager desire to combat against truths. (Apocalypse Explained 453)
