9056. 'Wound for wound' means if anything of love and affection present in the outward part of the will [is injured]. This is clear from the meaning of 'wound' as injury done to love and affection; and since love is injured it is an injury done to the will, because love belongs to the will. The reason why it is an injury done to the outward part of the will is that 'burning' means injuring an affection present in the inner part of the will, dealt with immediately above in 9055. In the Word a distinction is drawn between 'wounds' and 'blows'; 'wounds' has reference to injuries done to good, and 'blows' has reference to injuries done to truth, as in Isaiah,

From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it, [but] wounds and scars and recent blazes. They are not pressed out, nor bound up, nor softened with oil. Isaiah 1:6.

'Wounds' has reference here to good that has been destroyed, and 'blows' to truth that has been destroyed.

Everyone knows the phrase "the natural order of things." It means that everything is in its proper place, occupying the niche it is meant to fill. There is also the phrase "the spiritual order of things," meaning that every spiritual thing is in its proper spiritual place, occupying the spiritual niche it is meant to fill. This is, of course, what the Lord intends for us, and happens when we accept life and love from Him by willing what is good and acting according to truth. Of course, things are frequently out of order, because even the best of us indulge in unhealthy self-obsession and attachment to the material world. Ideally, we will repeatedly turn to the Lord and ask for His help with the cleanup, putting things back where they belong in the "spiritual order of things." This is what is meant when the Bible talks about restoring things -- it means putting them back into their proper spiritual place.
