91. "And to the angel of the church of the people of Smyrna write." (2:8) This symbolically means, to people and concerning people who as to life are engaged in good endeavors, but as to doctrine are caught up in falsities.

That people of this character are meant by the church of the people of Smyrna is apparent from the letter addressed to it, understood in its spiritual meaning.
