947. Verses 5, 6. And after these things I saw, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened: and the seven angels went out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in linen pure and glistening white, and girt about the breasts with golden girdles.

"And after these things I saw, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened," signifies interior Divine truth in the Word, revealed from the Lord.

"And the seven angels went out of the temple, having the seven plagues," signifies manifestation thence of all evils and the falsities therefrom, and of all falsities and the evils therefrom, which have devastated the church: "clothed in linen pure and glistening white," signifies, by Divine truth, or the Word in the spiritual sense: "and girt about the breasts with golden girdles," signifies spiritual Divine good, containing truths in order and connection.
