Apocalypse Revealed (Whitehead) n. 147

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

147. To him will I give power over the nations, signifies that they shall overcome evils in themselves which are from hell. That by "nations" in the Word are meant those who are in good, and in the opposite sense, those who are in evil, thus, abstractly, goods and evils, may be seen below (n. 483); therefore here by "giving power over the nations," is signified to give them to overcome the evils from hell in themselves.
