Zechariah 13:2

Study

       

2 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Apocalypse Revealed #703

Studere hoc loco

  
/ 962  
  

703. 16:14 For they are spirits of demons. This symbolically means that the lusts were lusts to falsify truths and to reason on the basis of falsities.

That demons symbolize lusts to falsify truths may be seen in no. 458 above. And because they were like frogs, the lusts were also lusts to reason on the basis of falsities, as said just above in no. 702.
