240. Full of eyes in front and in back. This symbolizes the Divine wisdom in the Word.
When eyes are mentioned in application to people, they symbolize the intellect, but when they are mentioned in application to the Lord, they symbolize Divine wisdom (nos. 48, 125). So likewise in application to the Word, as in the present instance, because the Word comes from the Lord, and is about the Lord, and so embodies the Lord.
The same statement is made in reference to the cherubim in Ezekiel, that they were "full of eyes" (Ezekiel 10:12).
"In front and in back," when said of the Word given by the Lord, symbolizes the Divine wisdom and love present in it.
27
I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it all around, from the appearance of his waist and upward; and from the appearance of his waist and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him.
28
As the appearance of the rainbow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahweh. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.
