Apocalypse Explained # 207
207. Verse 8. (Revelation 3:8) I know thy works, signifies a life of charity. This is evident from the signification of "works," as being those things that are of man's love, thus of his life (See above, n. 98, 116, 185); here, therefore, the things that are of charity, since that is what is treated of in what is written to this church.
Ezekiel 40:37
37
The posts of it were toward the outer court; and palm trees were on its posts, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps.
