เลวีนิติ 26:11
Many thanks to Philip Pope for the permission to use his 2003 translation of the English King James Version Bible into Thai. Here's a link to the mission's website: www.thaipope.org
Slave
In Jeremiah 2:14, this signifies people who think not from themselves, but from others. (Apocalypse Explained 836)
In Revelation 13:16, this signifies people who are wise from others. (Apocalypse Revealed 604)
To be in a state of slavery is to be under the domination of evil spirits. (Arcana Coelestia 892)
'A slave' means people who do not think for themselves but from others.
Apocalypse Revealed #604
604. 13:16 And it causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave. This symbolizes all the people in the Protestant Reformed church, of whatever condition, degree of education, or degree of intelligence.
The small and great here mean people of a lesser or greater degree of status, thus of whatever condition. The rich and poor mean people of more or less knowledge and learning (no. 206), thus of whatever degree of education. Free and slave mean people who acquire wisdom on their own or who gain it from others (no. 337), thus of whatever degree of intelligence.
So then, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, mean all the people in the Protestant Reformed church of whatever condition, degree of education, or degree of intelligence. This is the meaning in the spiritual sense.
