AE 375e [36]
Jehovah fed him with the increase of the fields,
He made him to suck honey out of the cliff,
and oil out of the flint of the rock.
(Deuteronomy 32:13)
This treats of the Ancient Church;
"to suck oil out of the flint of the rock"
means to be imbued with good through the truths of faith;
"honey" means natural good and delight;
"oil" spiritual good and delight;
and "cliff" and "flint of the rock" mean the truth of faith from the Lord.
If spiritual things were not meant by these words,
what meaning could there be in
"sucking honey out of the cliff, and oil out of the flint of the rock"?
