987# 启16:10,11.第五位天使把他的小瓶倒在兽的宝座上；兽的国就黑暗了；他们因痛苦就咬自己的舌头。又因自己的痛苦和疮，就亵渎天上的神；并不悔改他们的作为。
“第五位天使把他的小瓶倒在兽的宝座上”表示在信之教义方面所显现的教会状态(988节)；“兽的国就黑暗了”表示教会由此处于纯粹而密集的虚假(989节)；“他们因痛苦就咬自己的舌头”表示他们因厌恶而不愿感知和知道真正的良善和真理(990节)。
“又亵渎天上的神”表示对圣言的歪曲(991节)；“因自己的痛苦和疮”表示出于对真正的真理和良善的厌恶和恶心，这种厌恶和恶心源于那些处于唯信的人所处的虚假和邪恶(992节)；“并不悔改他们的作为”表示他们不愿照主的诫命生活(993节)。
987. Verses 10, 11. And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom became dark; and they gnawed their tongues for anguish; and they blasphemed the God of heaven by reason of their anguish, and by reason of their sores; and they repented not of their works.

"And they blasphemed the God of heaven," signifies falsification of the Word; "by reason of their anguish, and by reason of their sores," signifies from the loathing and nauseating of genuine truths and goods, arising from the falsities and evils in which those are who are in faith alone; "and they repented not of their works," signifies that they were not willing to live according to the Lord's precepts.
