37 Por tanto, he aquí que yo junto todos tus enamorados con los cuales tomaste placer, y todos los que amaste, con todos los que aborreciste; y reunirélos contra ti alrededor, y descubriréles tu vergüenza, y verán toda tu torpeza.

656. Verses, 9, 10. And they of the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations shall see their bodies three days and a half, and they shall not suffer their bodies to be put in sepulchres. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them and shall be glad, and shall send gifts one to another, because those two prophets tormented them that dwell upon the earth.

"And they of the people and tribes and tongues and nations shall see," signifies with all who are in falsities and evils of religion, of doctrine, and of life; "their bodies three days and a half," signifies the complete extinction of Divine Truth and Divine Good; "and they shall not suffer their bodies to be put in sepulchres," signifies their rejection and damnation. "And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them and shall be glad," signifies the delights of infernal love with those who are opposed to the goods and truths of the church; "and they shall send gifts one to another," signifies their consociation; "because those two prophets tormented them that dwell upon the earth," signifies anxiety of heart in the devastated church on account of these.

Joshua 8:26-29

Studie

      

26 For Joshua didn't draw back his hand, with which he stretched out the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.

27 Only the livestock and the spoil of that city Israel took for prey to themselves, according to the word of Yahweh which he commanded Joshua.

28 So Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a heap forever, even a desolation, to this day.

29 He hanged the king of Ai on a tree until the evening, and at the sundown Joshua commanded, and they took his body down from the tree, and threw it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised a great heap of stones on it that remains to this day.
