2350. Verse 5. And they cried unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men that came unto thee this night? Bring them out unto us that we may know them. “They cried unto Lot, and said unto him,” signifies falsity from evil becoming angry against good; “where are the men that came unto thee?” signifies the denial of the Lord’s Divine Human and Holy proceeding; “this night,” signifies the last time, when these are no longer acknowledged; “bring them out unto us, that we may know them,” signifies that men then desire to show that it is false to acknowledge their existence.
