680.启16:3.“第二位天使把他的香瓶倒在海里”表从主而来的真理与良善的流注在改革宗教会中那些处于教会的外在并陷入唯信，被称为平信徒的人当中。“倒香瓶”表示从主而来的真理和良善的流注，如前所述（676，677节）；“海”表示教会的外在，因而表示那些处于教会的外在之人；“地”表示教会的内在，因而表示那些处于教会的内在之人（398，403，404，420，470，677节）；他们就是那些被称为平信徒、陷入唯信的人。
680. 16:3 Then the second angel poured out his bowl upon the sea. This symbolizes an influx of truth and goodness from the Lord into those people in the church of the Protestant Reformed who are concerned with its external elements and are caught up in that faith, and are called the laity.
To pour out the bowl symbolizes an influx of truth and goodness from the Lord, as in nos. 676, 677 above. The sea symbolizes the outer component of the church, consequently those who are taken up with its external elements, since the earth or land symbolizes the internal component of the church, thus people who are taken up with its internal elements (nos. 398, 403, 404, 420, 470, 677). These are the people who are called the laity and are caught up in that faith.
680. [verse 3] 'And the second angel poured out his phial upon the sea' signifies an influx of truth and good from the Lord with those in the Church of the Reformed who are in its external things and in that faith, and are called the laity. By 'to pour out the phial' is signified an influx of truth and good from the Lord, as above (676-677). By 'the sea' is signified the external of the Church, therefore those who are in its externals, when by 'the land' is signified the internal of the Church, thus those who are in its internals (398, 403-404, 420, 470, 677). These are they who are called the laity and are in that faith.
680. Verse 3. And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea, signifies an influx of truth and good from the Lord with those in the church of the Reformed who are in its externals, and are in that faith, and are called the laity. By "pouring out his vial" is signified the influx of truth and good from the Lord, as above, (676, 677); by "the sea" is signified the external of the church, thus those who are in its externals, when "the earth" signifies the internal of the church, thus those who are in its internals, (398, 403, 404, 420, 470, 677); these are they who are called the laity, and are in that faith.
680. (Vers. 3.) "Et secundus Angelus effudit phialam suam super mare," significat influxum veri et boni a Domino apud' illos in Ecclesia Reformatorum, qui in externis ejus sunt, et in fide illa, et vocantur Laici - Per "effundere phialam" significatur influxus veri et boni a Domino (676, 677); per "mare" significatur externum Ecclesiae, proinde illi qui in externis ejus sunt, dum per "terram" significatur internum Ecclesiae, ita illi qui in internis ejus sunt (398, 403, 404, 420, 470, 677); 1hi sunt qui vocantur Laici et in fide illa.
