Look

  

'Look not back behind thee,' as in Genesis 19:17, means that Lot, who represents the good of charity, should not look to matters of doctrine. 'To look up,' is to look to celestial things. In Genesis 18:22, looking signifies thinking because seeing denotes understanding.

Commentarius

 

Wind

  

Because a nearer and stronger divine influx through the heavens disperses truths among the wicked, 'wind' signifies this dispersion of truth and the resulting conjunction with hell, and eventually, destruction. 'Wind,' as in Jeremiah 22:22, signifies the emptiness and vacancy of doctrine.
