That this signifies the time of the Lord’s coming, when they were saved, is evident from the signification of “thirty and four hundred years,” as being a full state, and the duration of the vastation or infestation of those who were of the spiritual church and were detained in the lower earth until the coming of the Lord, and were then liberated (of which just above, n. 7985, and n. 6854, 6914, 7035, 7091, 7828, 7932 a). Consequently “at the end of these years” signifies the time of the Lord’s coming, when they were saved.
