AR 315
. . . all things which belong to the field and the vineyard,
signify such things as are of the church,
because "a field" signifies the church as to good and consequent truth,
and "a vineyard," the church as to truth and good therefrom;
therefore where these are mentioned in the Word,
the angels, who perceive all things spiritually, understand nothing else . . ..
AR 316
And hurt not the oil and the wine,
signifies that it is provided by the Lord
that the holy goods and truths,
which lie interiorly concealed in the Word,
shall not be violated and profaned.
"Oil" signifies the good of love,
and "wine" truth from that good,
therefore "oil" signifies holy good,
and "wine" holy truth;
"hurt them not," signifies that it is provided by the Lord
that they shall not be violated and profaned . . ..
AR 325
. . . by disciples are meant all who worship the Lord
and live according to the truths of His Word.
