693. And they did not repent so as to give Him glory. This symbolically means that because of this they cannot accept with any faith that the Lord is God of heaven and earth, even in respect to His humanity, even though it is what the Word teaches.

Not repenting means, symbolically, not to turn away from evils, but to remain in them. And not to give Him glory means, symbolically, not to accept with any faith that the Lord is God of heaven and earth, for that is to give Him glory.

That the Lord is God of heaven and earth is something He Himself clearly teaches in Matthew 28:18, John 13:3; 17:2-3; also that He and the Father are one in John 10:30; 12:45; 14:6-11; 16:15, and elsewhere. Furthermore, Church doctrine also teaches that the Divine and the human are one person, united as soul and body.
