Arcana Coelestia # 4937
4937. Spirits from hell sometimes use delusion to produce a shoulder with which they cause force to be repelled; it cannot even pass by them. But all this is solely for the protection of those employing that kind of delusion; for they know that in the spiritual world the shoulder corresponds to all power. In the Word too 'the shoulder' means all power, as is evident in the following places,
You have broken the yoke of his burden, and the rod of his shoulder. Isaiah 9:4.
You push with side and with shoulder, and butt with your horns. Ezekiel 34:21.
You will tear for them every shoulder. Ezekiel 29:6-7.
That they may serve Jehovah with one shoulder. Zephaniah 3:9.
To us a Boy is born, and the government will be upon His shoulder. Isaiah 9:6.
I will place the key of the house of David on His shoulder. Isaiah 22:22.
Arcana Coelestia # 1125
1125. I was allowed to speak to those who belonged to the Church called Enosh, mentioned in Genesis 4:26. Their influx was gentle, and their speaking unassuming. They said that they lived with one another in charity, and that they performed kindly services for visitors. It was clear however that their charity was the charity arising from friendship. 1 They live peaceably, like good citizens, causing nobody any trouble.
