Studie

   

1 And in the seventh month, on the first of the month, there shall be for you a holy convocation; you shall not do any work* of service in it; it will be a day of a trumpet blast for you.

2 And you shall make a burnt·​·offering for a restful smell to Jehovah; one bullock, a son of the herd, one ram, and seven perfect lambs, sons of a year;

3 and their gift·​·offering shall be of flour mixed with oil, three tenths for the bullock, and two tenths for the ram,

4 and one tenth for one lamb, for the seven lambs;

5 and one male goat of the goats for a sin offering, to make·​·atonement for you;

6 apart from the burnt·​·offering of the new·​·moon and its gift·​·offering, and the continual burnt·​·offering and its gift·​·offering, and their poured·​·offerings, according·​·to their judgment, for a restful smell, a fire·​·offering to Jehovah.

7 And there shall be for you on the tenth of this seventh month a holy convocation; and you shall afflict your souls; you shall not do any work in it;

Apocalypse Revealed # 778

778. "And wine, oil, flour, wheat." This symbolically means that these Roman Catholics no longer have any worship that springs from celestial truths and goods, because they have nothing inwardly in their worship that corresponds to the aforesaid things.

This statement is similar to ones explained just above and in previous numbers, the only difference being that the valuables here symbolize celestial goods and truths.

Just what goods and truths are called celestial, and what spiritual, may be seen in no. 773 above. It may also be seen that the Roman Catholics meant here possess none of these, nor are there any in their worship. For, as we said above, the goods and truths of doctrine are present in worship as the soul is in the body. Consequently worship without these is a lifeless worship. Of such a character is worship that is reverent in outward appearances, but which has in it no internal reverence.

That wine symbolizes truth springing from the goodness of love may be seen in no. 316 above. That oil symbolizes the goodness of love will be seen in the next number. Flour symbolizes celestial truth, and wheat symbolizes celestial good.

[2] Wine, oil, flour and wheat symbolize the truths and goods in worship, because they were the ingredients in drink offerings and grain offerings, which were offered on the altar along with other sacrifices, and sacrifices and other offerings offered on the altar symbolize worship, since it was in these that the Israelites' worship chiefly consisted.

That drink offerings, which were ones of wine, were offered on the altar along with other sacrifices, can be seen in Exodus 29:40; Leviticus 23:12-13, 18-19; Numbers 15:2-15; 28:11-15, 18-31; 29:1-7ff.; and also in Isaiah 57:6; 65:11; Jeremiah 7:18; 44:17-19; Ezekiel 20:28; Joel 1:9; Psalms 16:4; Deuteronomy 32:38.

That oil was also offered on the altar along with sacrifices, can be seen in Exodus 29:40.

That grain offerings, which consisted of wheat flour, were offered on the altar along with other sacrifices, can be seen in Exodus 29:40).

It can be seen from this that these four articles - wine, oil, flour and wheat - were sacred and celestial elements in their worship.
