112. 'Even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was slain among you where Satan dwells' signifies when all the truth (veritas) has been extinguished by means of the untruths in the Church. By a 'martyr' is signified confession of the truth (veritas), the same as is signified by a 'witness' (n. 6, 16), because 'martyr' and 'witness' in the Greek language are one word. It is from spiritual or angelic language that 'Antipas' is named. Since by 'Antipas the martyr' is signified a confessor of the truth (veritas) , and abstractly the truth (veritas) itself, it is plain that by 'In the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was slain among you where Satan dwells' is signified when the truth (veritas) has been extinguished by means of the untruths in the Church. That by 'Satan' is understood the hell where and whence untruths are may be seen above (n. 97).
