Judah and his tribe
In the highest sense 'Judah and his tribe' symbolizes the Lord in relation to celestial love, in the spiritual sense, the Lord's celestial kingdom and the Word, and in the natural sense, the doctrine of a celestial church drawn from the Word. 'Judah' symbolizes in its opposite sense the love of self.
