Commentary

 

Write, to

  

In John 8:2-11, when the woman taken in adultery was brought before him, the Lord wrote twice on the ground. This signifies the condemnation of the scribes and Pharisees for adulteries in a spiritual sense, they having adulterated the goods and falsified the truths of the Word. (Apocalypse Explained 222)

221. And he shall go no more out. That this signifies that they shall be therein to eternity is evident from the signification of going no more out, when it is said of heaven and the Divine truth there (which are signified by the temple of God), as being that they shall remain in them to eternity.
