644. [verse 15] 'And another angel went out of the temple' signifies the angelic heaven. What is signified by an angel' and 'angels' may be seen above (n. 5, 65, 170, 258, 342, 344, 363, 415, 465). Here the angelic heaven is signified because it is said that he 'went out of the temple', and by 'the temple' is signified heaven as to the Church (n. 191, 529, 585). For there is a Church in the heavens equally as on earth (in terris).
