"And I fell down before his feet to adore him," signifies perception from him of the Divine to which belongs adoration; "and he said to me, See [thou do it] not," signifies the knowledge that he was not God, but an angel; "I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus," signifies that he is like men on earth who receive and have received Divine Truth from the Lord; "adore God," signifies that the Lord alone is to be acknowledged and worshipped from the heart; "for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy," signifies that the acknowledgment of the Lord and conjunction with Him is the life of all doctrine from the Word.
