말들이 어찌 바위 위에서 달리겠으며 소가 어찌 거기 밭 갈겠느냐 ? 그런데 너희는 공법을 쓸개로 변하며 정의의 열매를 인진으로 변하여
Exploring the Meaning of Amos 6
作者: Helen Kennedy
Woe is called upon people who seem to live a life of ease and fill it with pleasures -- for example, those who “eat lambs from the flock.” (Amos 6:4)
Using the significations mentioned elsewhere in Swedenborg’s works, this could mean “those who attribute innocence (the lamb) to themselves,” or think they are blameless when they have actually sinned.
Also, to ask, “Do horses run on rocks?”(Amos 6:12) is a great image for when our understanding is filled with only literal or external truths but doesn’t delve into deeper ones that show the Lord’s leading more clearly.
