528. Verse 13. And I beheld, and I heard one angel flying in the midst of heaven, saying with a great voice, Woe, woe, woe, to them that dwell on the earth, by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels which are about to sound!- "And I beheld, and I heard one angel flying in the midst of heaven," signifies the Lord enlightening all in the heavens concerning the state of the church at its end; "saying with a great voice," signifies in manifestation; "Woe, woe, woe, to them that dwell on the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels which are about to sound," signifies grievous lamentation over the changes of the state of the church, on account of the turning away from good and truth, and thence damnation.

20 Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;

21 Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
