833. [verse 19] 'And I saw the beast and the kings of the land and their armies gathered together to wage war with the One sitting upon the horse, and with His army' signifies that all the interiorly evil who have made profession of faith alone, with the leaders and their adherents, are going to attack the Lord's Divine Truths in His Word and to infest those who will be of the Lord's New Church. That by 'the beast' are signified those who are in the form of religion of faith alone, may be seen above (n. 567, 576, 577, 594, 598, 601). That they are those who are interiorly evil and have made profession of that form of religion will be seen below. By 'the kings of the land' are signified those who are in the untruths of that form of religion more than the rest, thus the leaders; for by 'the kings of the land' are signified those who are in the truths of the Church out of the Word, and in the opposite sense those who are in untruths (n. 20, 483, 704, 737, 720, 740), here those who are in untruths. By 'their armies are signified all those among them who likewise are in untruths (n. 447). By 'to wage war' is signified to attack, since by 'war' in the Word is signified the spiritual war that is of untruth against truth and of truth against untruth (n. 500, 586, 707). By 'the One sitting upon the horse' is understood the Lord as to the Word (n. 820, 821); and because they cannot fight against the Lord Himself but can against His Divine Truths that are in the Word, and thus also they fight against the Lord because the Lord is the Word, therefore this is understood by 'to wage war with the One sitting upon the horse'. That by 'an army' are signified those who are in Divine truths, thus abstractly Divine Truths, therefore those who are of the Lord's New Heaven and of the Lord's New Church because Divine truths are with them, may be seen above (n. 826).
