747. 'And shall make her desolate and naked' signifies that they will divest themselves of its untruths and evils. By 'to make her desolate' is signified to divest themselves of its untruths, and by 'to make her naked' is signified to divest themselves of its evils; for they make her desolate and naked with themselves. In the Word desolation is predicated of truths and untruths, and nakedness of goods and evils, as can be established from the things that have been adduced concerning nakedness, above (n 213, 706). From these things it can be established that by 'they shall make her desolate and naked' is signified that they will divest themselves of all the untruths and evils of that form of religion. That the Protestants or Reformed have done so is known.
