'The ruler of the feast,' as in John 2:9, signifies people who have knowledges of truth. His saying to the bridegroom, 'every a person at first doth set forth good wine, and when men have well drank, then that which is worse, but thou hast kept the good wine until now,' signifies that every church starts out in truths from good, but declines into truths without good. However, now in the end of the church, truth from good, or genuine truth, is given from the Lord.
