Apocalypse Revealed (Coulsons) n. 495

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

495. 'And if any one wishes to do them an injury, he must in this manner be killed' signifies that he who condemns them shall likewise be condemned. By 'to do an injury' here is signified to condemn, because it follows 'he must in this manner be killed', and by 'to kill' in the Word is signified to kill spiritually, which is to be condemned; for the Lord said, 'With what judgment you judge, you shall be judged' (Matt. vii 1, 2).
