Infernal spirits also sometimes by phantasy exhibit a shoulder, by which they cause force to be repelled; and it cannot go beyond this; but this is only for those who are in such phantasy, for they know that in the spiritual world the shoulder corresponds to all power. By the “shoulder,” in the Word also is signified all power, as is evident in the following passages:
Thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder (Isaiah 9:4).
Ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push with your horns (Ezekiel 34:21).
Thou cleavest for them every shoulder (Ezekiel 29:7).
That they may serve Jehovah with one shoulder (Zeph. 3:9).
Unto us a Child is born, and the government shall be upon His shoulder (Isaiah 9:6).
The key of the house of David will I put upon his shoulder (Isaiah 22:22).
