29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

Commentary

 

Watch-tower

  

'A watchtower,' as in Isaiah 23:13, signifies the delusions, or fantasies, that come from a love of self, even a worship of oneself. It can become a worship of self when a person sets himself up above everybody else, with pride and arrogance.

Commentary

 

Vine shall give her fruit, and the ground her increase

  

In Zechariah 8:12, 'the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground her increase,' signifies that the spiritual affection of truth produces the good of charity, and the natural affection of good and truth produces the works of charity.

(References: Apocalypse Explained 695)
