694. 16:10 Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast. This symbolizes influx into the people's faith.

The angel's pouring out his bowl means, symbolically, here as before, influx, and the throne of the beast means, symbolically, where faith alone reigns. A throne symbolizes a kingdom or realm, and the beast faith alone (nos. 567, 576, 577, 594, 601, 660).

That a throne is also mentioned in connection with the reign of evil and falsity is apparent from the following:

The dragon gave (the beast) its power, its throne, and great authority. (Revelation 13:2)

I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. (Revelation 2:13)

I watched till thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of Days was seated. (Daniel 7:9)

I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and... the strength of the kingdoms of the nations. (Haggai 2:22)

(Lucifer said:) "I will exalt my throne above the stars... (Isaiah 14:13)

And elsewhere.

660. And those who have the victory over the beast, over its image and over its mark and over the number of its name. This symbolizes people who rejected faith alone and its accompanying doctrine, and so did not acknowledge or become imbued with its falsities, and did not falsify the Word.

The beast symbolizes the dragon's faith among the laity, which was the subject of chapter 13:1-10, because its image was made then (13:14). Its image symbolizes doctrine (nos. 602, 634, 637). Its mark symbolizes an acknowledgment of that faith (nos. 605, 606, 634, 637, 679). The number of its name symbolizes a falsification of the Word (no. 610).

It is apparent from this that these words symbolize people who rejected faith alone and its accompanying doctrine, and so did not acknowledge or become imbued with its falsities, and did not falsify the Word.
