1948. Verse 12. And he shall be a wild-ass [onager] man; his hand against all, and the hand of all against him; and he shall dwell against the faces of all his brethren. “He shall be a wild-ass man,” signifies rational truth, which is described; “his hand against all,” signifies that it will wage war upon whatever is not true; “and the hand of all against him,” signifies that falsities will fight back; “and he shall dwell against the faces of all his brethren,” signifies that there will be continual contentions about matters of faith; but that nevertheless it will be a conqueror.
