Therefore speak to them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet, I Jehovah will answer him according to this, according to the multitude of his idols:
'Sons of the stranger' signify counterfeit truths, or falsities. 'Our sons' signify the doctrines of truth, and 'our daughters,' the doctrines of good, as in Psalm 144:11-12.
(Referenser: Arcana Coelestia 489; Psalms 144:11)
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)
(Referenser: Arcana Coelestia 10503)
