Fury

  

Fury is a receding from good, and anger is a receding from truth.

In Genesis 49:20, this signifies turning away from confirmed truth. (Arcana Coelestia 6359)

In Exodus 15:7, this signifies the fury of lusts and their endeavor to inflict violence. (Arcana Coelestia 8284)

In Zephaniah 1:15, this signifies the advent of the Lord to judgment. (Divine Love and Wisdom 5)

In Revelation 14:10, this signifies truth from which comes good. (Apocalypse Revealed 635)

(Izinkomba: Arcana Coelestia 3517, 3614, 4052)

694. Just as heaven, deriving as it does from the Lord, constitutes through mutual love one human being and one soul so to speak, and consequently has one end in view, which is to preserve and save all men eternally, so conversely does hell, deriving as it does from the proprium, constitute through self-love and love of the world, that is, through hatred, one devil and one frame of mind (animus), and consequently has one end in view, which is to destroy and condemn all men eternally. That this is the nature of their endeavours I have perceived thousands and thousands of times. Unless therefore the Lord were preserving everybody in every fraction of a moment, man would perish.
