Arcana Coelestia # 2370
2370. 'Stand back' means their angry threats, that is, threats against the good that flows from charity. This is clear from the meaning of 'Lot' as the good that flows from charity, to whom, and concerning whom, these words were addressed. That they are angry threats is evident from these words themselves and from those that follow. It may also be evident that they embody the consideration that if he spoke about or commended that good any further they would utterly reject it, meant by 'stand back'.
Matthew 7:16-20
16
By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
17
Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.
18
A good tree can't produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
19
Every tree that doesn't grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.
20
Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.
