10271. 'And the lampstand and its vessels' means within spiritual truth belonging to the second heaven, and within the truths which are of service to that truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'the lampstand' as a representative sign of the Lord in respect of spiritual truth belonging to the second heaven, dealt with in 9548, 9551, 9555, 9558, 9561, 9684; and from the meaning of 'its vessels' as truths existing as facts, which act as servants, dealt with in 3068, 3079, 9572, 9724.
