Und sie werden ihre Ungerechtigkeit bekennen und die Ungerechtigkeit ihrer Väter infolge ihrer Treulosigkeit, die sie gegen mich begangen haben, und auch daß, weil sie mir entgegen gewandelt sind,
3 Mose 26:40
Apocalypse Explained #784
784. Verse 3. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded unto death; and his death stroke was healed, and the whole earth wondered after the beast.
"And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded unto death," signifies the discordance of their doctrinals with the Word, in which love, life, and works, are so often mentioned, which do not at all agree with that religious persuasion; "and his death stroke was healed," signifies the discordance apparently removed by assumed conjunctions of works with faith; "and the whole earth wondered after the beast," signifies acceptance by the more learned in the church, and a remote reception by those who are less learned.
