LOCUSTS FOR FOOD

A symbol of facts of experience for the development of the mind and the moral nature.

“And his (John's) food was locusts and wild honey." - MATTHEW iii. 4.

This is the food which signifies the natural means of nourishment, subsistence upon uncooked, simple fare, signifying plain facts. Locusts signify the qualities of the sensual man, or the sensual principle which is the ultimate of the life of man's mind." - SWEDENBORG, Apocalypse Revealed, n. 424.
