Apocalypse Revealed#407
407. Then the third angel sounded. (8:10) This symbolizes an examination and disclosure of the state of the church in people for whom religion is faith alone such as they are as regards their affection for truths from the Word and reception of them.
That this is the symbolic meaning follows from what now follows when understood in its spiritual sense.
Leviticus第19章:23-25
23
"'When you come into the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as forbidden. Three years shall they be forbidden to you. It shall not be eaten.
24
But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, for giving praise to Yahweh.
25
In the fifth year you shall eat its fruit, that it may yield its increase to you. I am Yahweh your God.
