Arcana Coelestia #4937
4937. Spirits from hell sometimes use delusion to produce a shoulder with which they cause force to be repelled; it cannot even pass by them. But all this is solely for the protection of those employing that kind of delusion; for they know that in the spiritual world the shoulder corresponds to all power. In the Word too 'the shoulder' means all power, as is evident in the following places,
You have broken the yoke of his burden, and the rod of his shoulder. Isaiah 9:4.
You push with side and with shoulder, and butt with your horns. Ezekiel 34:21.
You will tear for them every shoulder. Ezekiel 29:6-7.
That they may serve Jehovah with one shoulder. Zephaniah 3:9.
To us a Boy is born, and the government will be upon His shoulder. Isaiah 9:6.
I will place the key of the house of David on His shoulder. Isaiah 22:22.
Isaiah 66:10-12
10
"Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her: Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her;
11
that you may nurse and be satisfied at the comforting breasts; that you may drink deeply, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory."
12
For thus says Yahweh, "Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream: and you will nurse. You will be carried on her side, and will be dandled on her knees.
