38 我也要審判你,好像官長審判淫婦和流人血的婦女一樣。我因忿怒忌恨,使流血的罪歸到你身上。

Spiritual Experiences # 5160

  
/ 6110  
  

5160. And in the heavenly Kingdom they see daughters and virgins adorned by the Lord with various accessories wonderfully arranged: flowers of diverse colors, precious stones, and indescribable [other] things, of the kind recounted in Isa. 3[:18-23] and Ezek. 16:10ֱ4 and elsewhere, from which they have such beauty that there is no comparison with all the beauty of virgins on earth. What is more, they know all the things that are symbolized, because virgins there are affections of good and of truth. Consequently these affections are fully displayed, and the individual details are understood by those there.

Mouth

  

In most cases, "mouth" in the Bible represents thought and logic, especially the kind of active, concrete thought that is connected with speech. The reason for this is pretty obvious, but it also holds when people, for instance, remove a stone from the mouth of a well, which represents gaining access to spiritual ideas. The mouth is used for eating as well as speaking, of course. In those circumstances, it represents our first, most external perception of a new spiritual idea or desire. This also makes sense, mirroring the way tasting food in the mouth gives us an instant impression of the quality of the food.
