Apocalypse Revealed #381

Study this Passage

381. "They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore." (7:16) This symbolically means that hereafter they will not lack goods and truths.

Not to hunger means, symbolically, to have no lack of goodness, and not to thirst means, symbolically, to have no lack of truth. For hungering is predicated of bread and food, while thirsting is predicated of wine and water; and bread and food symbolize goodness, while wine and water symbolize truth. (See no. 323 above.)
