19
Kanilang ihahagis ang kanilang pilak sa mga lansangan, at ang kanilang ginto ay magiging parang isang maruming bagay; ang kanilang pilak at ang kanilang ginto ay hindi makapagliligtas sa kanila sa kaarawan ng poot ng Panginoon: hindi nila maaaliw ang kanilang mga kaluluwa, o mabubusog man ang kanilang mga tiyan; sapagka't naging katitisuran ng kanilang kasamaan.
A 'sword,' as in Ezekiel 21:9-15, signifies a person so desolated that he can see nothing good and true, but only falsities and contradictions. A 'sword,' in the Word, signifies the truth of faith combating and the vastation of truth. In an opposite sense, it signifies falsity combating and the punishment of falsity.
The 'sword,' in Revelation 1:16, represents a dispersion of falsities by the Lord because the sword came out from His mouth, which means it comes from the Word. Because the Word is understood by doctrine taken from it, this is also symbolically meant. It is called a sharp two-edged sword because it pierces the heart and soul.
A 'flaming sword which turned every way,' as in Genesis 3:24, signifies divine truth in extremes, which, like the Word in its literal sense, can be turned.
(Referencat: Arcana Coelestia 2799)
24
So he drove out the man; and he placed Cherubs at the east of the garden of Eden, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
