AE 403b - gardens and goods and truths

AE 403b [8]
Your many gardens and your vineyards,
and your fig-trees and your olive-trees,
the palmer worm has devoured;
yet have you not returned unto me.
(Amos 4:9)

"Gardens" signify all things of the church
that constitute intelligence and wisdom;
"vineyards" spiritual goods and truths;
"fig-trees" natural goods and truths;
"olive-trees" celestial goods and truths;
"the palmer worm" means the falsity that destroys;
"the fig-tree," "the vine," and "the olive" properly signify the church
and the person of the church;
but as the church is a church and a person is a person from goods and truths,
so these also are signified by those trees,
goods by their fruits,
and truths by their branches and leaves.

(Palmer worms are hairy caterpillars with voracious appetites.)
