Arcana Coelestia #7457
7457. 'We will go a way of three days into the wilderness' means that they would remove themselves altogether, so as to be in freedom. This is clear from the meaning of 'going a way of three days into the wilderness' as removing themselves altogether. That this is the meaning follows from what the internal sense above contains - that they could not worship God in a place nearby, in the presence of those from hell, dealt with above in 7452, 7454-7456. So they would have to remove themselves altogether, so as to be in freedom.
Zechariah 1:18-21
18
I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four horns.
19
I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these?" He answered me, "These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem."
20
Yahweh showed me four craftsmen.
21
Then I asked, "What are these coming to do?" He said, "These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head; but these have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it."
