1191. This is that great city. That this signifies doctrinals, and that these increased and prevailed, is evident from the signification of a “city,” as being a true doctrinal, or a false doctrinal (as was shown at n. 402). And it is called the “great city” because all falsity of doctrine, and of the worship therefrom, is derived into falsity of life.
