127. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 4
Representation of the perverted church in the church. (2)
1-2 He should represent the falsities of the church, and the church besieged by them. (2)
3 He should represent the hardness of their heart, from which it is that they have no fear; (2)
4-8 he should also represent the church besieged by falsities of evil and evils of falsity. (2)
9-16 He should represent the falsification and adulteration of the sense of the letter of the Word, (2)
'Three hundred,' as in Genesis 6:15, signifies remains. In general, 'three hundred' signifies fullness, because the number comes from three and a hundred multiplied. Both 'three' and 'a hundred' signify fullness. The significance of products or sums of numbers is seen in the simple numbers that factor into them.
