1 διοτι ιδου εγω εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις και εν τω καιρω εκεινω οταν επιστρεψω την αιχμαλωσιαν ιουδα και ιερουσαλημ

2 και συναξω παντα τα εθνη και καταξω αυτα εις την κοιλαδα ιωσαφατ και διακριθησομαι προς αυτους εκει υπερ του λαου μου και της κληρονομιας μου ισραηλ οι διεσπαρησαν εν τοις εθνεσιν και την γην μου καταδιειλαντο

3 και επι τον λαον μου εβαλον κληρους και εδωκαν τα παιδαρια πορναις και τα κορασια επωλουν αντι οινου και επινον

4 και τι και υμεις εμοι τυρος και σιδων και πασα γαλιλαια αλλοφυλων μη ανταποδομα υμεις ανταποδιδοτε μοι η μνησικακειτε υμεις επ' εμοι οξεως και ταχεως ανταποδωσω το ανταποδομα υμων εις κεφαλας υμων

5 ανθ' ων το αργυριον μου και το χρυσιον μου ελαβετε και τα επιλεκτα μου και τα καλα εισηνεγκατε εις τους ναους υμων

6 και τους υιους ιουδα και τους υιους ιερουσαλημ απεδοσθε τοις υιοις των ελληνων οπως εξωσητε αυτους εκ των οριων αυτων

7 ιδου εγω εξεγειρω αυτους εκ του τοπου ου απεδοσθε αυτους εκει και ανταποδωσω το ανταποδομα υμων εις κεφαλας υμων

8 και αποδωσομαι τους υιους υμων και τας θυγατερας υμων εις χειρας υιων ιουδα και αποδωσονται αυτους εις αιχμαλωσιαν εις εθνος μακραν απεχον οτι κυριος ελαλησεν

9 κηρυξατε ταυτα εν τοις εθνεσιν αγιασατε πολεμον εξεγειρατε τους μαχητας προσαγαγετε και αναβαινετε παντες ανδρες πολεμισται

10 συγκοψατε τα αροτρα υμων εις ρομφαιας και τα δρεπανα υμων εις σειρομαστας ο αδυνατος λεγετω οτι ισχυω εγω

11 συναθροιζεσθε και εισπορευεσθε παντα τα εθνη κυκλοθεν και συναχθητε εκει ο πραυς εστω μαχητης

12 εξεγειρεσθωσαν και αναβαινετωσαν παντα τα εθνη εις την κοιλαδα ιωσαφατ διοτι εκει καθιω του διακριναι παντα τα εθνη κυκλοθεν

13 εξαποστειλατε δρεπανα οτι παρεστηκεν τρυγητος εισπορευεσθε πατειτε διοτι πληρης η ληνος υπερεκχειται τα υποληνια οτι πεπληθυνται τα κακα αυτων

14 ηχοι εξηχησαν εν τη κοιλαδι της δικης οτι εγγυς ημερα κυριου εν τη κοιλαδι της δικης

15 ο ηλιος και η σεληνη συσκοτασουσιν και οι αστερες δυσουσιν φεγγος αυτων

16 ο δε κυριος εκ σιων ανακεκραξεται και εξ ιερουσαλημ δωσει φωνην αυτου και σεισθησεται ο ουρανος και η γη ο δε κυριος φεισεται του λαου αυτου και ενισχυσει κυριος τους υιους ισραηλ

17 και επιγνωσεσθε διοτι εγω κυριος ο θεος υμων ο κατασκηνων εν σιων εν ορει αγιω μου και εσται ιερουσαλημ πολις αγια και αλλογενεις ου διελευσονται δι' αυτης ουκετι

18 και εσται εν τη ημερα εκεινη αποσταλαξει τα ορη γλυκασμον και οι βουνοι ρυησονται γαλα και πασαι αι αφεσεις ιουδα ρυησονται υδατα και πηγη εξ οικου κυριου εξελευσεται και ποτιει τον χειμαρρουν των σχοινων

19 αιγυπτος εις αφανισμον εσται και η ιδουμαια εις πεδιον αφανισμου εσται εξ αδικιων υιων ιουδα ανθ' ων εξεχεαν αιμα δικαιον εν τη γη αυτων

20 η δε ιουδαια εις τον αιωνα κατοικηθησεται και ιερουσαλημ εις γενεας γενεων

21 και εκδικησω το αιμα αυτων και ου μη αθωωσω και κυριος κατασκηνωσει εν σιων

Apocalypse Revealed # 546

546. Then the woman fled into the wilderness. (12:6) This symbolizes the church, namely, the New Jerusalem, being at first among few.

The woman symbolizes the New Church (no. 533), and the wilderness symbolizes a circumstance in which there are no longer any truths. The church is symbolized as being at first among few because the statement follows, "Where she has a place prepared by God, that they may feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days," which symbolizes the state of that church then, that in the meantime provision may be made for it to exist among more people until it grows to its appointed state (no. 547).

A wilderness in the Word symbolizes:

1. A church devastated, or one in which the Word's truths have all been falsified, as was the case with the Jews at the time of the Lord's advent.

2. A church without truths, because it does not have the Word, as was the case with upright gentiles at the time of the Lord's advent.

3. A state of temptation or trial, in which a person is seemingly without truths, being surrounded by evil spirits who induce the temptation or trial and appear to rob him of his truths.

[2] 1. That a wilderness symbolizes a church devastated, or one in which the Word's truths have all been falsified, as was the case with the Jews at the time of the Lord's advent: This is apparent from the following passages:

Is this the man who shook the earth, who made kingdoms tremble, who made the world as a wilderness...? (Isaiah 14:16-17)

This said in reference to Babylon.

On the land of my people will come up thorns and briers...; ...the palace will be deserted... (Isaiah 32:13-14)

I beheld, and lo, Carmel was a wilderness... "The whole land shall be a wasteland." (Jeremiah 4:26-27)

The land is the church (no. 285).

...shepherds have destroyed My vineyard..., they have made the field of My desire a desolate wilderness... The devastators are coming... in the wilderness. (Jeremiah 12:10, 12)

...(the vine) is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land. (Ezekiel 19:13)

...fire has devoured the habitations of the wilderness. (Joel 1:19-20)

...the day of Jehovah is coming... The land is like the Garden of Eden before it, but after it a desolate wilderness. (Joel 2:1, 3)

...see the word of Jehovah! Have I been a wilderness to Israel, or a land of darkness? (Jeremiah 2:31)

The voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Prepare the way of Jehovah; make level in the desert a highway for our God." (Isaiah 40:3)

And so on elsewhere, as in Isaiah 33:9; Jeremiah 3:2; 23:10; Lamentations 5:9; Hosea 2:2-3; 13:15; Joel 3:19; Malachi 1:3; Matthew 24:26; Luke 13:35.

That such is the state of the church today may be seen in no. 566 below.

[3] 2. That a wilderness symbolizes a church without truths, because it does not have the Word, as was the case with upright gentiles at the time of the Lord's advent: This is apparent from these passages:

...the Spirit shall be poured upon us from on high, then the wilderness shall become a fertile field...; and judgment will dwell in the wilderness... (Isaiah 32:15-16)

(I will put) fountains in the midst of the valleys, [and turn] the wilderness into a pool of water... I will put in the wilderness the shittim cedar... and the oil tree. (Isaiah 41:18-19)

He will turn a wilderness into a pool of water, and dry land into springs of water. (Psalms 107:35-36)

I will make a road in the wilderness, rivers in the desert... to give drink to My people, My chosen. (Isaiah 43:19-20)

...Jehovah... will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Jehovah; gladness and joy will be found in her... (Isaiah 51:3)

The habitations of the wilderness drip... (Psalms 65:12-13)

Let the wilderness... lift up (its) voice... Let the inhabitants of the rock sing... (Isaiah 43:10-11)

[4] 3. That a wilderness symbolizes a state of temptation or trial, in which a person is seemingly without truths, being surrounded by evil spirits who induce the temptation or trial and appear to rob him of his truths: This is apparent from Matthew 4:1-3, Mark 1:12-13.
