Apocalypse Revealed #145
145. "'Still, hold fast what you have till I come.'" (2:25) This symbolically means, so that they may retain the few things that they know from the Word about charity and its resulting faith, and live according to them, until the New Heaven and New Church are formed, which are the Lord's advent. For it is only people like this who accept what the doctrine of the New Jerusalem teaches regarding the Lord and charity.
