Apocalypse Explained (Tansley) n. 927

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

927. Great and wonderful. That this signifies from Divine Omnipotence and Providence, is evident from the signification of great, when said of the Lord, as denoting His Divine Omnipotence; and from the signification of wonderful, when said of the Lord, as denoting His Divine Providence. For man, when he thinks of what is great in the Lord, thinks of His Divine Omnipotence; and when he thinks of what is wonderful in the Lord, he thinks of His Divine Providence. The things also that follow, concerning the salvation of the good and the damnation of the evil, all pertain to the Divine Omnipotence and Providence.
