Apocalypse Explained (Tansley) n. 106

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

106. Or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy lampstand out of its place, except thou repent. That this signifies, if not, that it is certain that heaven will not be given to them, is evident from the signification of coming quickly, as being for certain (that quickly denotes certain, may be seen above, n. 7); and from the signification of lampstand, as being the church and heaven, concerning which also see above, n. 62. Therefore, to remove the lampstand out of its place, denotes to separate from the church and heaven, or that heaven is not given to then). (That heaven is not given to those who are in knowledges alone, and not in a life in agreement with them, may be seen above, n. 104.)
