"And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him," signifies the necessity of acknowledgment by those who are born within the church: "whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb," signifies by all who are not become spiritual by regeneration from the Lord: "slain from the foundation of the world," signifies whose Divine in the Human has not been acknowledged from the first establishment of the present church.

"If any man have an ear, let him hear," signifies reception by those who are in the understanding of truth, and thence in the perception of good.
