AC 5360 - famine - the lack of the knowledges of good and truth

AC 5360
That a famine denotes such a lack, or desolation,
is because celestial and spiritual food
are nothing else than good and truth.
These are what angels and spirits are nourished by,
and what they hunger for when hungry,
and thirst for when thirsty;
and therefore also material food corresponds thereto --
as bread to celestial love,
and wine to spiritual love,
as well as everything that pertains to bread or food,
and wine or drink.
When therefore there is a lack of such things,
there is a "famine,"
and in the Word this is called "desolation" and "vastation" -
"desolation" when truths fail,
and "vastation" when goods fail.
