207. * These, then, are secrets from heaven that explain very many passages of holy Scripture. Let only one be set forth, concerning Michael the Angel. He fought with the devil, and overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, Rev. Chap. [12:7,8,11], which will come to pass at the last day, when there will be judgment, that is, when God the Messiah shall come into glory. For this reason it is read also that that nation, or the people called Jacob, will not pass away before it shall see God the Messiah in His glory, etc. etc. [cf. Gen. 49:10, Num. 24:17]. [Outer (External); Inward; Law]
