That this signifies eternal death, is evident from the signification of “soul,” as being life (n. 1000, 1040, 1742); and from the signification of “peoples,” as being truths (see n. 1259, 1260). Thus “peoples” are they who live in truths, that is, angels; and for a “soul to be cut off” from these, is to be damned, or to perish in eternal death.
