Apocalypse Revealed#165
165. "'You have a few names even in Sardis.'" (3:4) This symbolically means that they also have among them some people who do have life in their worship.
A few names means, symbolically, some who are of such a character as now described, for a name symbolizes someone's character. That is because everyone in the spiritual world is named in accordance with his character (no. 81). The character of the people described now is that they have life in their worship.

No one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed.
