887. Verse 6. And He said unto me, It is done, signifies that it is the Divine truth. The reason why by "He said unto me" is signified that it is the Divine truth is because the Lord said a third time, "He said unto me"; also because He said "it is done" in the present tense; and what the Lord says a third time is what ought to be believed, because it is the Divine truth, as also what He said in the present tense; for "three signifies what is complete to the end" (n. 505); in like manner when being about to do a thing, He said, "It is done."
