5143. I also was in my dream. That this signifies prediction, is evident from the signification of a “dream,” as being prediction concerning the event (see n. 5092, 5104, 5112).

Jeremiah 24:1-2

Study

      

1 Yahweh showed me, and behold, two baskets of figs set before the temple of Yahweh, after that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.

2 One basket had very good figs, like the figs that are first-ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.
