Commentary

 

Jehoiakim

  

'Jehoiakim,' as in Jeremiah 36:30, after he had burnt the scroll written by Jeremiah, it is said, 'that his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost,' which signifies that the truths of the church would perish by lust for falsity. This king represents the truth of the church about to perish. The scroll which he burnt signifies the Word, which is said to be 'burnt' when it is falsified and adulterated.
