317. And seven eyes, signifies and who has omniscience. This is evident from the signification of "seven eyes" as being, in reference to the Lord, omniscience; for as "eyes" in reference to man signify the understanding, so in reference to the Lord they signify omniscience. That "eyes" in reference to man signify the understanding, and in reference to the Lord providence, as also Divine wisdom and intelligence, which is omniscience, see above, n. 152. "Seven eyes" are mentioned, because "seven" signifies all things, and is predicated of what is holy (as above).
Lamentations 2:2-3
2
The Lord has swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and has not pitied: He has thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah; He has brought them down to the ground; he has profaned the kingdom and its princes.
3
He has cut off in fierce anger all the horn of Israel; He has drawn back his right hand from before the enemy: He has burned up Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours all around.
