Es común decir "veo" cuando entendemos algo. Y, efectivamente, "ver" en la Biblia representa captar y comprender las cosas espirituales. Así que tiene sentido que los ojos, que nos permiten ver, representen el intelecto, que nos permite entender las cosas espirituales.

La Biblia habla de personas que tienen ojos y se niegan a ver, y el Señor, cuando estaba en el mundo, aconsejó que se sacara un ojo. Esto representa un rechazo a reconocer la verdad, o ser engañado por la falsedad.

8792. 'Jehovah will come down before the eyes of all the people' means, the coming of the Lord will occur, and enlightenment at that time. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming down', when said of Jehovah, that is, the Lord, as His presence through influx, thus His coming - the coming of the Lord being meant here by Jehovah's coming down before the eyes of all the people. Jehovah appeared in an outward form before those people because they could not perceive His presence in any other way; for they were inwardly devoid of the goodness and truth in which the Lord is present with others, 8787. Enlightenment at that time is meant by 'before the eyes of all the people', for 'the eye' in the internal sense is the understanding, and consequently the sight of the eye is the perception belonging to faith, which owes its existence to the light of heaven, so that 'before the eyes' is enlightenment. For the meaning of the eye as the understanding, and its sight as the perception belonging to faith, see 4403-4421, 4523-4534.
