24 Minä viritin sinulle pyydyksen, ja niin sinut, Baabel, vangittiin tietämättäsi. Sinut tavattiin ja otettiin kiinni, sillä Herraa vastaan sinä ryhdyit taisteluun.

644. 14:15 And another angel came out of the temple. This symbolizes the angelic heaven.

The symbolic meaning of an angel or angels may be seen in nos. 5, 65, 170, 258, 342, 343, 344, 415, 465 above. Here it is the angelic heaven, because we are told that the angel came out of the temple, and a temple symbolizes heaven in respect to the church (nos. 191, 529, 585). For the church exists in heaven just as much as on earth.
