"And I heard another voice out of heaven, saying," signifies exhortation to those who are in truths, and the good of life, to beware of them. "Come out from her, my people," signifies to leave them and have no communication with them. "Lest ye become partakers of her sins," signifies lest they come into their evils which are from the love of self and the love of the world. "And lest ye receive of her plagues," signifies and thence into falsities of evil, and so into destruction.
