660. And those who have the victory over the beast, over its image and over its mark and over the number of its name. This symbolizes people who rejected faith alone and its accompanying doctrine, and so did not acknowledge or become imbued with its falsities, and did not falsify the Word.

The beast symbolizes the dragon's faith among the laity, which was the subject of chapter 13:1-10, because its image was made then (13:14). Its image symbolizes doctrine (nos. 602, 634, 637). Its mark symbolizes an acknowledgment of that faith (nos. 605, 606, 634, 637, 679). The number of its name symbolizes a falsification of the Word (no. 610).

It is apparent from this that these words symbolize people who rejected faith alone and its accompanying doctrine, and so did not acknowledge or become imbued with its falsities, and did not falsify the Word.
