Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 8333

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

8333. 'Into the sea' means damnation. This is clear from the meaning of 'the Sea Suph' as hell, dealt with in 8099, 8137, 8138. At this point damnation is meant since it says that they came into the sea, and after this that Jehovah brought the waters of the sea back over them, meaning that they fell down into hell. For the evil pass into damnation before descending into hell.
