Apocalypse Explained #416

Study this Passage

  
/ 1232  
  

416. And after these things I saw. That this signifies new perception concerning the state of heaven before the Last Judgment, is evident from what follows in this chapter, where, the separation of the good from the evil is treated of. For before a last judgment takes place, the good are separated from the evil by the Lord, and led away; and since such things are involved in the things seen, therefore they are signified here by “after these things I saw."
