Court

  

In 1 Kings 7:5, this signifies perfection or the complete equality of what is just and what is perfect. (Arcana Coelestia 8917)

In Revelation 21:16, this signifies that in the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, the good of the church will be equal to its truth, and so justice will prevail. (Apocalypse Revealed 905) The court of the tabernacle (Exodus 27:9 and other places) signifies the external of heaven, or the first, which is also called the ultimate heaven.

Talents

  

'Talents' denote good and truth from the Lord received as remains.

In Revelation 16:21, 'great hail, the weight of a talent,' signifies fearsome and atrocious falsities, which destroy all truth and good in the Word, and as a result, in the church. (Apocalypse Revealed 714)

It says 'to be of the weight of a talent' because a talent was the largest weight of silver and gold. 'Silver' signifies truth and 'gold' signifies good, and in the opposite sense, falsity and evil, respectively.

In Matthew 25:28, taking the one talent from the servant, and giving it to the servant with ten talents, signifies that knowledges of good and truth get separated from evil people in the other life, lest they should communicate by them with heaven, and by their evils and falsities with hell, and so hang between the two states. A further reason is so that they do not profane goods and truths, as happens when these are mixed together with falsities and evils. (Arcana Coelestia 4424)
