2120、论到末期，或末日，主说，那时海和波浪制造响声，日头变黑了，月亮也不放光，众星要从天上坠落，民族要起来攻击民族，国家要起来攻击国家，等等（马太福音24:7，29；路加福音21:25）。这些话，无论总体还是细节，都表示教会在面临最后审判时的状态。“海中波浪的响声”只表示在教会，无论总体的，还是具体的个人的，异端和争论将发出这样的喧嚣声。“日头”只表示对主之爱和对邻之仁；“月亮”表示“信”；“众星”表示信的知识或认知；这一切在末期或末日都会如此变黑，也不放光，并从天上坠落，也就是消失不见。主在以赛亚书（13:10）中也说过类似的话。所以“民族要起来攻击民族，国家要起来攻击国家”只表示邪恶攻击邪恶，虚假攻击虚假，等等。主由于许多隐藏的原因而以这种方式说话。我非常肯定，并在第一卷已经证明，“海”、“日头”、“月亮”、“众星”、“民族”和“国家”具有这些含义。

2120. As to what the Lord said concerning the last times, that then the sea and the billows shall roar, the sun be darkened, the moon not give her light, the stars fall from heaven, nation rise up against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and more (see Matt. 24:7, 29; Luke 21:25)-these things both in general and in particular signify the state of the church, such as it would be at the time of its Last Judgment. And by the "roaring of the sea" and the "billows" nothing else is signified than that heresies and controversies within the church in general, and in everyone in particular, will be thus in uproar. By the "sun" is meant nothing else than love to the Lord and charity toward the neighbor; by the "moon," faith; and by the "stars," the knowledges of faith; all of which, in the last times, will be thus darkened, will not give light, and will fall from heaven, that is, will vanish away. The like is said by the Lord also in Isaiah (chapter 13:10). So too by "nation against nation, and kingdom against kingdom," nothing else is meant than evils against evils, and falsities against falsities, and so on. There were many secret reasons why the Lord spoke in this way. (That the "seas," "sun," "moon," "stars," "nations," and "kingdoms" have such a signification, I know with certainty, and have shown in Part First.)

2120. Every single detail of what the Lord has said in Matt 24:7, 29; Luke 21:25, about the last times - about the sea and the waves roaring then, about the sun being darkened, the moon not giving its light, the stars falling from heaven, nation rising up against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and so on - means the future state of the Church, when its Last Judgement takes place. By 'the roaring of the sea and of the waves' is meant that nothing other than heresies and controversies within the Church in general and in the individual in particular will reverberate in this fashion. 'The sun' is used to mean nothing other than love to the Lord and charity towards the neighbour; 'the moon' to mean faith; and 'the stars' cognitions of faith which in the last times will be so darkened; their 'not giving their light' and 'falling from heaven', that they will disappear. The Lord has also spoken in a similar way in Isaiah 13:10. Also, by 'nation rising up against nation and kingdom against kingdom' is meant nothing other than evils clashing with evils, and falsities with falsities. And so on. There were many hidden reasons why the Lord spoke in this fashion. That seas, sun, moon, stars, nations, and kingdoms have such meanings I know for certain, and have shown in Volume One.

2120. Quae Dominus locutus est de ultimis temporibus, quod tunc mare et salum resonabit, sol obscurabitur, luna non dabit lumen suum, stellae cadent de caelo, gens contra gentem et regnum contra regnum excitabitur, et plura, Matth. xxiv 7, 29; Luc. xxi 25, omnia et singula significant statum Ecclesiae qualis futurus quando ultimum ejus judicium; et per quod `mare et salum resonabit,' nihil aliud significatum est quam `quod' haereses et controversiae, in communi intra Ecclesiam et in particulari in unoquovis, ita perstrepent; per `solem' nihil aliud intellectum quam amor in Dominum et charitas erga proximum; per `lunam' fides; et per `stellas' cognitiones fidei, quae ultimis temporibus ita obscurabuntur; `non dabunt lumen, et cadent de caelo,' hoc est, evanescent; `similiter etiam dictum a Domino apud Esaiam xiii 10;' tum per `gentem contra gentem et regnum contra regnum' non aliud quam mala contra mala et falsa contra falsa; et sic porro. Quod ita Dominus locutus, fuit ex multis arcanis causis. Quod maria, sol, luna, stellae, gentes et regna significent talia, pro certo scio; et in Parte Prima ostensum est.
