King

  
Meeting of three kings in Potsdam and Charlottenburg, 1709, by Samuel Theodor Gericke

In Genesis 14:1, kings signify apparent goods and truths having the upper hand. In the next verse, they stand for the dominant evils and falsities against which the Lord fought as he passed He grew up on Earth.

In Genesis 14:3, we see that these evils and falsities were unclean; and in Genesis 14:4, that they burst forth later. (Arcana Coelestia 1661-1664).

In Genesis 14:14-15, this signifies that the Lord gained victory over them the evils represented earlier in the chapter. (Arcana Coelestia 1711-1715)

In Isaiah 33:17, a king signifies seeing genuine truth. (Apocalypse Explained 304[31])

In Revelation 9:11, a king signifies one who is in truth from an affection for what is good, and abstractly that truth itself -- here, in the opposite sense. (Apocalypse Revealed 440)

10245. 'Or when they approach the altar to minister, to burn a fire offering to Jehovah' means worship springing from the good of love. This is clear from the meaning of 'approaching the altar to minister' as representing the Lord in respect of the good of love, dealt with in 9964; and from the meaning of 'burning a fire offering to Jehovah' as worship springing from love of the Lord. For 'burning' or sacrificing means worship, 6905, 8936, and 'a fire offering to Jehovah' means that which springs from the Lord's Divine Love, 10055. For more about the implications of all this, see just above in 10242.
