And there shall not enter into it any unclean thing
and that does abomination and a lie,
but they that are written in the Lamb's book of life.
(Revelation 21:26)
AR 876
"And there shall not enter into it any unclean thing
and that does abomination and a lie"
signifies that no one is received
into the Lord's New Church
who adulterates the goods
and falsifies the truths of the Word,
and who does evils from confirmation
and thus also falsities.
"But they that are written in the Lamb's book of life"
signifies that no others
will be received into the New Church,
which is the New Jerusalem,
but those who believe in the Lord,
and live according to His commandments in the Word.
