The children of Israel represent 'lamentation' through various things which signified evil of the church among them. When they were punished for their actions, they then represented repentance and humiliation.

(Ссылки: Apocalypse Revealed 492)

4492. “凡出他城门的人” 表他们将背离古人当中的教会教义. 这从 “出” 和 “城门” 的含义清楚可知: “出” 在此是指背离; “城门” 是指教义 (参看2943, 4477节), 在此指古人当中的教会教义, 因为这是 “他的城” 门, 也就是示剑的城门, “示剑” 代表古人当中的教会真理 (4454节). 如前所述, 古人当中的教会表示从上古教会传下来的东西. 从接下来的内容将明显看出此中是何情形.
