412.启8:12.“第四位天使吹号”表审查并显示那些持唯信宗教信仰者当中的教会状态，他们陷入虚假的邪恶和邪恶的虚假。这就是这些话的含义，这一点从下文明显看出来，不过当以属灵之义来理解。“吹号”在此表示审查并显示，如前所述（398，402，407节）。
412. Then the fourth angel sounded. (8:12) This symbolizes an examination and disclosure of the state of the church in people for whom religion is faith alone, that they are caught up in the evils accompanying falsity and in the falsities accompanying evil.
That this is the symbolic meaning follows from what follows next, understood in the spiritual sense.
To sound a trumpet here means, symbolically, to examine and expose, as in nos. 398, 402, and 407, above.
412. [verse 12] 'And the fourth angel sounded' signifies an examination and making manifest [to show] the state of the Church with those for whom religion is faith alone, that they are in evils of untruth and untruths of evil. That these things are signified is established from the things now following understood in the spiritual sense. Here as above (398, 402, 407) 'to sound' signifies to examine and make manifest.
412. Verse 12. And the fourth angel sounded, signifies the exploration and manifestation of the state of the church with those whose religion is faith alone, that they are in the evils of falsity, and in the falsities of evil. That this is the signification of these words, is evident from what follows, when understood in the spiritual sense. "To sound" signifies here, as before, to explore and make manifest, (398, 402, 407).
412. (Vers. 12.) "Et quartus Angelus clanxit," significat explorationem et manifestationem status Ecclesiae apud illos quibus Religio est sola fides, quod sint in malis falsi et falsis mali. - Quod haec significentur, constat ex nunc sequentibus in Sensu spirituali intellectis. "Clangere" significat hic ut supra (398, 402, 407), explorare et manifestare.
