7705. “在埃及全境连一个也没有留下” 表最外面部分中的这些虚假不再显现. 这从 “蝗虫” 的含义清楚可知, “蝗虫” 是指最外面部分中的虚假. 由于它表示最外面部分中的虚假 (7643节), 故经上说 “在埃及全境”, 因为 “(边) 境” 是指最外面部分, “埃及” 是指属世层. “连一个蝗虫也没有留下” 表示一个也不显现, 这是显而易见的. 类似的事也论及 “冰雹” (7611节).

When we eat, our bodies break down the food and get from it both energy and materials for building and repairing the body. The process is similar on a symbolic level in the Bible. Food represents the desire for good and the insight that comes from that desire for good – goodness and understanding that come from the Lord. But to put them to use we have to take them in and make them our own – which is spiritual eating.
