887. [verse 6] 'And He said unto me, It is done' signifies that it is the Divine Truth (veritas). The reason why by 'He said unto me, It is done' is signified that it is the Divine Truth (veritas) is because the Lord a third time said 'He said unto me', also because He said 'It is done' in the present tense;
and what the Lord says a third time is what is to be believed because it is a Divine truth, as well what He says in the present tense; for 'three times' signifies what is complete to the end (n. 505). In like manner when [something] is going to be done it is said, 'It is done.'
