Arcana Coelestia # 8580
8580. 'Take in your hand, and go' means that furnished with that power, he is to carry out what has been commanded. This is clear from the meaning of 'taking in his hand' - taking his rod in it - as being furnished with that power. The fact that 'go' means carrying out what has been commanded is clear without explanation.
Matthew 16:18-19
18
I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.
19
I will give to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in Heaven; and whatever you release on earth will have been released in Heaven."
