AE 6 & 7 - significations of "servants" and "quickly"

Portions of Revelation 1:1

AE 6
. . . the signification of "His servants,"
as being, who are in truths from good.
Such are meant by servants of God,
because those who hearken to and obey God
are called, in the Word, servants of God.
Hearkening and obedience take place
with those who are in truths from good,
but not with those who are in truths alone,
or in truths without good;
for these have truths in the memory only,
and not in the life;
whereas those who are in truths from good
have truths in the life,
and those who have truths in the life
do them from the heart, that is, from love.
. . . By good is here meant
the good of love to the Lord
and the good of love towards the neighbor;
for this good is the only spiritual good,
and with this truths of faith are in accord.

AE 7
"Things which must quickly come to pass",
signifies which will certainly be.
. . . and from the signification of "quickly,"
as meaning what is certain and full.
