360. Verses 3,4. And when He had opened the second seal, I heard the second animal saying, Come and see. And there went forth another horse that was red; and to him that sat upon him, to him it was given to take peace from the earth, that they should slay one another; and there was given unto him a great sword. 3. "And when He had opened the second seal," signifies a manifestation of the succeeding state of those who are of the church, where the Word is (n. 361); "I heard the second animal saying," signifies out of the inmost heaven from the Lord (n. 362); "Come and see," signifies attention and perception (n. 363). 4. "And there went forth another horse that was red," signifies the understanding of the Word destroyed in respect to good (n. 364); "and to him that sat upon him, to him it was given to take peace from the earth," signifies the Word consequently not understood, whence there are dissensions in the church (n. 365); "that they should slay one another," signifies the falsification and extinction of truths (n. 366); "and there was given unto him a great sword," signifies by means of falsities (n. 367).
