Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 7851

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

7851. 'On that night' means when the damnation of the evil takes place. This is clear from the meaning of 'night' as a state of devastation of truth and good, dealt with in 221, 709, 2353, 7776, and so damnation. For when truth and good are no longer present, only falsity and evil, there is damnation, at this point the damnation of the ones who molested those belonging to the spiritual Church.
