AE 359 - to conquer

AE 359
And he went forth conquering and that He might conquer,
(Revelation 6:2)
. . . "to conquer" in the Word as being to conquer spiritually,
which is to subjugate evils and falsities;
but as these are not conquered otherwise
than that they are taken away by the Lord,
"to conquer" signifies the removal of evils and falsities.

Jesus [said] to the disciples,
These things I have spoken unto you
that in Me you might have peace.
In the world you shall have tribulation;
but confide, I have overcome the world.

(John 16:33)
The Lord's "overcoming the world" means that He subjugated all the hells;
for "the world" here signifies all evils and falsities, which are from hell.
