921. Verse 20. And the wine-press was trodden without the city; and blood went out from the wine-press even to the horses' bridles, from a thousand six hundred furlongs.

"And the wine-press was trodden without the city," signifies the production of falsities from evil from hell: "and blood went out from the wine-press even to the horses' bridles," signifies falsifications of the Word, even to dominion over the understanding, flowing forth from evil: "from a thousand six hundred furlongs," signifies evils in their whole extent.
