BIBLE VERSES

GRASS

A symbol of the condition of awakenment of the Divine life in the lower nature of the soul.

"And God said, Let the earth put forth grass." - GENESIS. i. 11.

And the Supreme now directs that the earliest beginnings of the Divine life shall proceed to manifest. The "grass" symbolises the faint aspiration arising from the lower nature in the dawn of light and life. Grass upsprings from the soil which is sluggish and inert,—the mineral form of life.

"By green grass is signified that good and truth of the church or of faith, which first springs up in the natural man; the same also is signified by the herb of the field." - SWEDENBORG, Apocalypse Revealed, n. 401.
