AC 8592 - "And Amalek Came"

AC 8592

And Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
And Moses said unto Joshua,
Choose us out men,
and go out, fight against Amalek;
tomorrow I stand upon the top of the hill,
and the rod of God in my hand.
(Exodus 17:8-9)

"And Amalek came,"
means falsity from interior evil;
"and fought with Israel in Rephidim,"
means that they attacked
when grievous temptation was being endured;
"and Moses said unto Joshua,"
means Divine influx into truth combating;
"Choose us out men,"
means that it may draw up truths for the fight;
"and go out, fight against Amalek,"
means against falsities from interior evil;
"tomorrow I stand on the top of the hill,"
means the conjunction of
truth Divine with the good of charity,
and the consequent influx;
"with the rod of God in my hand,"
means that from this was power.
