Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 7676

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

7676. 'And devour every plant in the land' means the total consumption of all truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'devouring' as consuming; and from the meaning of 'plant in the land' as the Church's truth, dealt with in 7571.
