Apocalypse Revealed (Coulsons) n. 212

212. 'And white garments that thou mayest be clothed' signifies that they may acquire for themselves genuine truths of wisdom. That 'garments' signify the truths clothing good may be seen above (n. 166); and that 'white' is said of truths (n. 167). Consequently 'white garments' signify genuine truths of wisdom, and this because gold purified by fire signifies the good of celestial love, and the truths of this love are the genuine truths of wisdom.
