311. In the heavenly meaning, killing refers to being angry with the Lord for no good reason, hating him, and wanting to get rid of his name. People with such feelings are said to crucify the Lord; if he were to come back into the world again, they would do much the same thing the Jews did. This is the meaning of "the Lamb in a state as if killed" (Revelation 5:6; 13:8), and the meaning of "crucified" in Revelation 11:8; Hebrews 6:6; and Galatians 3:1.
