Apocalypse Revealed #518

Study this Passage

518. The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly. (11:14) This symbolizes a lamentation over the corrupted state of the church, and lastly a final lamentation, as depicted after this.

That a woe symbolizes a lamentation over the corrupted state of the church may be seen in no. 416 above. The third woe symbolizes the final lamentation when a culmination and end has been reached, for three and likewise a third have this symbolic meaning (no. 505). To come quickly means, symbolically, after this, and after this means from chapter 11of chapter 16, and lastly chapter 20, where the last judgment on these people is described.
