Commentary

 

Hogs

  

In Leviticus 11:7 and Matthew 7:6, this signifies filthy loves of those in the hells of adulterers. (Apocalypse Explained 1044[4]) Swine signify people who love only worldly riches. (Apocalypse Revealed 727)

In Isaiah 65:4, this signifies appropriation of infernal evils. (Apocalypse Explained 659[2]) 'Swine' or 'hogs' correspond to the life of greed and its delight.

Psalms 95

Study

   

1 Oh come, let's sing to Yahweh. Let's shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!

2 Let's come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let's extol him with songs!

3 For Yahweh is a great God, a great King above all gods.

4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his.

5 The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land.

6 Oh come, let's worship and bow down. Let's kneel before Yahweh, our Maker,

7 for he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep in his care. Today, oh that you would hear his voice!

8 Don't harden your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness,

9 when your fathers tempted me, tested me, and saw my work.

10 Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, and said, "It is a people that errs in their heart. They have not known my ways."

11 Therefore I swore in my wrath, "They won't enter into my rest."
