AE 727a - old men & old women

AE 727a [9]
There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem,
and a man in whose hand is a staff because of the multitude of days.
(Zechariah 8:4)

"Old men and old women"
signify those who are intelligent from doctrine and from the affection of truth;
"the man in whose hand is a staff because of the multitude of days"
signifies the wise who trust in the Lord alone and not at all in themselves;
that these will be in the church that has the doctrine of genuine truth
is signified by "in the streets of Jerusalem,"
"Jerusalem" meaning the church in respect to doctrine,
and "streets" the truths of doctrine, here genuine truths.
