2448. Verse 25 And He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew in the ground.

'He overthrew those cities' means that all truths were separated from them so that they might possess falsities alone. 'And all the plain' means all the things which belonged to [those] truths. 'And all the inhabitants of the cities' means that all goods were separated from them so that they might possess nothing but evils. 'And that which grew in the ground' means everything that is part of the Church.
