827. [verse 15] That 'And out of His mouth a sharp sword was proceeding' signifies the dispersion of untruths by means of the doctrine derived thence from the Lord, is plain from the things expounded above (n. 52) where similar things [are said] of the Lord, Who is there called the Son of Man, and by 'the Son of Man' is understood the Lord as to the Word (n. 44). Likewise here by the One riding upon the white horse; for the dispersion of untruths is effected by means of the Word from the Lord.
