681# 启11:15.“第七位天使吹号”表示经由天堂从主而来的神性真理的流注，以及随之而来的最终变化。这从“吹号”的含义清楚可知，当论及天使时，“吹号”是指来自主的神性真理的流注，以及随之而来的在恶人所在的低地的变化(参看AE 489, 502节)。“吹号”之所以表示这种含义，是因为“号”和“角”表示即将被揭示或已经被揭示的神性真理(参看AE 55, 262节)。“第七位天使吹号”表示由来自主的神性真理的流注导致的最终变化，因为数字“七”表示完全和最终之物(参看AE 20, 24, 257, 300, 486节)。前面(AE 413a, 418a, 419a, 426, 489, 493节)充分论述了在恶人所在的低地的变化，这些变化是通过经由天堂从主而来的或强烈或温和的神性真理的流注，因而通过各种流注实现的；因此，关于它们，没有必要在这个地方多说什么。在所引用的地方可以看到，恶人与善人的分离，将恶人投入地狱，以及其它许多变化，是通过这些各种各样的流注实现的。由此明显可知，“第七位天使吹号”表示什么。
681. And the seventh angel sounded.- That this signifies the influx of Divine Truth through the heavens from the Lord, and thence the consequent final changes is evident from the signification of sounding, in reference to an angel, as denoting the influx of Divine Truth from the Lord, and a consequent change in the lower parts, where the evil are (concerning this see above, n. 489, 502). To sound has this signification, because a trumpet and a horn signify Divine Truth about to be revealed, and also revealed, as may be seen above (n. 55, 262). The final change from the influx of Divine Truth from the Lord, is meant by the sounding of the seventh angel, because the number seven signifies what is full and final, as may be seen above (n. 20, 24, 257, 300, 486). The changes in the lower parts, where the evil are, caused by a stronger or milder influx of Divine Truth through the heavens from the Lord, and thus by various kinds of influx, have been amply treated of above (n. 413:2, 418, 419, 426, 489, 493); it is therefore unnecessary to say any more concerning them in this place. That the separation of the evil from the good, and the casting of the evil into hell, and many other changes, resulted from these various kinds of influx, may be seen in the places cited. From these things the signification of the seven angels sounding is now evident.
681. Verse 15. And the seventh angel sounded, signifies the influx of Divine truth through the heavens from the Lord, and the consequent final changes. This is evident from the signification of "sounding," in reference to an angel, as being the influx of Divine truth from the Lord, and a consequent change in the lower places, where the evil are (See above, n. 489, 502). This is the reason of this signification of "to sound," because "trumpet" and "horn" signify Divine truth about to be revealed or that has been revealed (See above, n. 55, 262). The "sounding of the seventh angel" means the final change caused by the influx of Divine truth from the Lord, because the number "seven" signifies what is full and final (See above, n. 20, 24, 257, 300, 486). As the changes in the lower places where the evil are, which are effected by a stronger or milder influx of Divine truth through the heavens from the Lord, thus by various kinds of influx, have been fully treated of above (n. 413, 418, 419, 426, 489, 493), it is unnecessary to say anything further about them. That the separation of the evil from the good, and the casting down of the evil into hell, and many other changes were effected by these various kinds of influx can be seen in the places indicated. From this now it is evident what is signified by "the seven angels sounding."
681. [Vers. 15.] "Et septimus angelus clanxit." - Quod significet influxum Divini Veri per caelos a Domino, et inde ultimas mutationes, constat ex significatione "clangoris", cum de angelo, quod sit influxus Divini Veri a Domino, et inde mutatio in inferioribus, ubi mali (de qua supra, n. 489, 502); quod "clangere" id significet; est quia "tuba" et "buccina" signicabat Divinum Verum revelandum et quoque revelatum (videatur supra, n. 55, 262): quod sit ultima mutatio ex influxu Divini Veri a Domino, quae per "septimi angeli clangorem" intelligitur, est quia numerus "septem" significat plenum ac ultimum (videatur supra, n. 20, 24, 257, 1
300, 486). De mutationibus in inferioribus, ubi mali, factis per influxum Divini Veri per caelos a Domino intensiorem et leniorem, ita per influxus varios, supra (n. 413 [a] 418 [a] 419 [a] , 426, 489, 493) ample actum est; quare denuo aliquid de illis dicere supersedetur. Quod per influxus illos factae sint separationes malorum a bonis, ac dejectiones malorum in infernum, ac plures aliae mutationes, in locis citatis videri potest. Ex his nunc patet quid per "angelos septem clangentes" significatur.
