1030. Verses 1, 2. And there came one of the seven angels having the seven vials, and talked with me saying unto me, Come, I will show thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters; with whom the kings of the earth have committed whoredom, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her whoredom.

"With whom the kings of the earth have committed whoredom," signifies that they have falsified all the truths of the church; "and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her whoredom," signifies that from falsifications those who belong to the church are made insane.
