'Honor, virtue, and might,' as mentioned in Revelation 7:12, signify divine celestial things of the Lord. 'To honor thy father and thy mother,' as mentioned in Exodus 20:12, in a spiritual sense, signifies revering and loving God and the church. (True Christian Religion 306) In a celestial sense 'father' means our Lord Jesus Christ, and 'mother' means the new church. 'Honor' signifies the good of love. 'To honor,' as mentioned in Isaiah 24:15, signifies worship and adoration. 'Honor' refers to worship from good, and 'fear' refers to worship from truth, as mentioned in Malachi 1:6. 'To be honored above all,' as mentioned in Genesis 34:19, signifies what is primary. 'The honor of Carmel and Sharon,' as mentioned in Isaiah 35:1, 2, signifies divine good that the Gentiles should receive.
