441. [verse 12] 'And one woe is past, behold there come two more woes hereafter' signifies further lamentations over the devastation of the Church. That 'woe' signifies lamentation over calamity, unhappiness and damnation, may be seen (n. 416). Here, therefore, by 'two woes hereafter' are signified further lamentations over the state of the Church.
