Fowl signify spiritual truth; a bird, natural truth; and a winged thing, sensual truth. Fowl of heaven, as in Hosea 2:18, signify the affections of truth; and reptiles of the earth, the affection of the knowledges of truth and good. Fowl signify thoughts, and all that creeps on the ground, the sensual principle. Fowl signify intellectual things.

2241. Verse 21 I will go down now, and I will see whether they have brought it to a close according to the cry of it which has come to Me; and if not, I will know.

'I will go down now, and I will see' means visitation. 'Whether they have brought it to a close according to the cry of it which has come to Me; and if not, I will know' means whether evil has reached its peak.
