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 41:1-3
1
He brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tent.
2
The breadth of the entrance was ten cubits; and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured its length, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits.
3
Then went he inward, and measured each post of the entrance, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits; and the breadth of the entrance, seven cubits.
