Isaiah 14:2

Studie

Commentaar

 

Idols

  

Idols of stone signify worship from falsities of doctrine. Idols of wood signify worship from evils of doctrine. Idols of silver signify worship from what is false in life and doctrine. Idols of gold signify worship from evil, both in doctrine and life. 'To eat of things offered to idols,' signifies the appropriation of evil and adulteration of all good.

In Leviticus 26:1, this signifies the falsities of certain religions. (Apocalypse Explained 827[3])

In Judges 17:5, although Teraphim were idols, here they represent Divine truths. (Arcana Coelestia 4111)
