Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 10440

10440. 'Turn back from the heat of Your anger' means that if He does so that nation's turning away will not be harmful. This is clear from the meaning of 'the heat of anger', when it has reference to Jehovah, as a turning away on man's part, dealt with above in 10431, so that 'turning back from the heat of anger' means that the turning away will not be harmful. What this implies is evident from what has been stated and shown in the explanations previous to this.
