Apocalypse Explained #385

Studere hoc loco

  
/ 1232  
  

385. With sword, signifies by falsity. This is evident from the signification of "sword," as being truth fighting against falsity and destroying it; and in a contrary sense falsity fighting against truth and destroying it (of which above, n. 131, 367).
