'Lebanon' signifies spiritual good. It also signifies the church regarding the perception of truth from the rational self.

(Izinkomba: Arcana Coelestia 10261)

To “break” something creates an image that is different from “attacking,” “destroying,” or “shattering.” It is less emotional and violent in its intent; it is somewhat matter-of-fact. It is fitting, then, that “break” is used in the Bible primarily to illustrate the Lord’s destruction of evil desires and false ideas – something that must be done to preserve us from harm, but not something done with malice.
