AE 743 - Overcome and Rejoice

signifies = means

AE 743

And they overcame him through the blood of the Lamb,
and through the word of their testimony;
and they loved not their soul even unto death.
For this rejoice, you heavens and you that dwell in them.
(Revelation 12:11-12 first part)

"And they overcame him through the blood of the Lamb,"
signifies
resistance and victory by Divine truth
proceeding from the Lord's Divine Human;
"and through the word of their testimony,"
signifies
and through the confession and acknowledgment
of the Divine in His Human;
"and they loved not their soul, even unto death,"
signifies
the faithful who have endured temptations
for the sake of these truths,
and who have regarded
the life of the world as of no account
in comparison with the life of heaven.
"For this rejoice, you heavens
and you that dwell in them,"
signifies
the salvation and consequent joy
of those who become spiritual
by the reception of Divine truth . . ..
