626.启14:6.“我又看见另有一位天使飞在空中，有永远的福音要传给住在地上的人”表对主的降临，和那即将由祂那里从天而降的新教会的宣告。“天使”在至高意义上表示主，因而也表示天堂（5，344，465节）。“另一位天使”表示来自主的某种新事物；“飞在天空中”表示俯视、观察并预备（415节），在此表示教会中由主那里从天而来的某种新事物。“永远的福音”表示对主及其国度到来的宣告（478，553节）。“住在地上的人”表示教会之人，宣告就是向他们作出的。这句话之所以也表示宣告新教会即将由主那里从天而降，是因为主的到来涉及两件事：最后的审判，和最后审判之后的新教会。19和20章论述了最后的审判，21和22章论述了新教会，也就是新耶路撒冷。“福音”和“传（福音）”表示主及其国度到来的宣告，这一点从前面（478节）所引用的经文明显可知；在那里可以看出来。
626. 14:6 Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth. This symbolizes an announcement of the Lord's advent, and of a new church to descend from Him out of heaven.
In the highest sense an angel means the Lord, and so also heaven (nos. 5, 344, 465). Another angel symbolizes something new now from the Lord. To fly in the midst of heaven means, symbolically, to look down, to observe and to foresee (no. 415), here to foresee something new in the church from the Lord out of heaven. The everlasting gospel symbolizes an announcement of the coming of the Lord and His kingdom (nos. 478, 553). Those who dwell on the earth symbolize people in the church to whom the announcement is made.
This serves also to announce that a new church is now about to descend from the Lord out of heaven, because the Lord's advent involves two elements: a last judgment and after that a new church. The last judgment is the subject of chapters 19, 20; and the new church, which is the New Jerusalem, is the subject of chapters 21, 22.
That the gospel and preaching the gospel symbolize an announcement of the advent of the Lord and His kingdom, can be clearly seen from the passages cited in no. 478, to which the reader is referred.
626. [verse 6] 'And I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the eternal gospel to declare (evangelizare) to those dwelling upon the land' signifies the announcement of the Lord's coming, and of the New Church going to come down out of heaven from Him. By 'an angel in the highest sense is understood the Lord, and consequently also heaven (5, 344, 465). By 'another angel' is signified a new thing now from the Lord. By 'to fly in the midst of heaven' is signified to look down on, observe, and provide for (415), here a new thing from the Lord out of heaven in the Church. By 'the eternal gospel' is signified the announcement of the coming of the Lord and His kingdom (478, 553). By 'those dwelling upon the land' are signified the men of the Church to whom the announcement is made. The reason why [the Lord] is to announce that the New Church is now going to come down out of heaven from Him is because the Lord's coming involves two things, a last judgment and after it a New Church. The last judgment is treated of in chapters 19; 20; and the New Church, which is the New Jerusalem, in chapters 21; 22. That by 'the gospel' and 'to declare' (evangelizare) is signified the announcement of the coming of the Lord and His kingdom is manifestly established from the passages quoted (478), which may be seen there.
626. Verse 6. (Revelation 14:6) And I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the eternal gospel to proclaim unto them that dwell on the earth, signifies the annunciation of the Lord's advent, and of the New Church about to come down out of heaven from Him. By "an angel," in the highest sense, is meant the Lord, and thence also heaven (5, 344, 465). By "another angel" is signified something new from the Lord; by "flying in the midst of heaven" is signified to look down on, to observe, and to provide for, (415), here something new out of heaven from the Lord in the church. By the "eternal gospel" is signified the annunciation of the coming of the Lord and of His kingdom, (478, 553). By "them that dwell on the earth," are signified the men of the church to whom the annunciation will be made. The reason why it also means to announce that the New Church is now about to descend out of heaven from Him, is, because the Lord's coming involves two things, the Last Judgment, and after it the New Church. The Last Judgment is treated of in chapters 19, 20, and the New Church, which is the New Jerusalem, in chapters 21; 22. That by "the gospel" and "proclaiming" is signified the annunciation of the coming of the Lord and of His kingdom, appears evidently from the passages cited in 478, which may there be seen.
626. (Vers. 6.) "Et vidi alium Angelum volantem in medio Caeli, habentem Evangelium aeternum evangelizare habitantibus super terra," significat annuntiationem Adventus Domini, et Novae Ecclesiae descensurae e Caelo ab Ipso. - Per "Angelum" in supremo Sensu intelligitur Dominus, et inde quoque Caelum (5, 344, 465); per "alium Angelum" significatur nunc novum a Domino; per "volare in medio Caeli" significatur despicere, perspicere et prospicere (415), hic novum a Domino e Caelo in Ecclesia per "Evangelium aeternum" significatur annuntiatio Adventus Domini et Regni Ipsius (478, 553); per "habitantes super terra" significantur homines Ecclesiae, ad quos fiet annuntiatio: quod etiam sit annuntiare quod Nova Ecclesia nunc sit descensura e Caelo ab Ipso, est quia adventus Domini involvit duo, Ultimum Judicium et post illud Novam Ecclesiam. De Ultimo Judicio agitur, cap. 19; 20; et de Nova Ecclesia, quae est Nova Hierosolyma, cap. 21; 22. Quod per "Evangelium" et "evangelizare" significetur annuntiatio de Adventu Domini et Regni Ipsius, constat manifeste ex locis 478 adductis, quae ibi videantur.
