708. 16:17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air. This symbolizes influx from the Lord into all of these things at the same time in people of the Protestant Reformed Church.

The seventh angel's pouring out his bowl symbolizes, here as before, influx. The air symbolizes the whole scope of their perception and thought, thus of their faith, and consequently also the character generally of all those people in that church caught up in a faith divorced from charity. For air symbolizes their respiration, and respiration corresponds to the intellect, thus to perception and thought, and also faith, because faith is a matter of thought in accordance with the intellect's perception. The existence of this correspondence, and the fact that everyone in the spiritual world breathes in a way that reflects his faith, has been fully shown in Angelic Wisdom Regarding Divine Love and Wisdom, Part Five.
