WHOREDOM
Symbolic of the soul seeking satisfaction from
without instead of from within-whence cometh all good; or of the
soul's attachment to the lower emotions in preference to the higher.
"By whoredoms are signified adulterations of good and falsifications
of truth in the Word." - SWEDENBORG, Apocalypse Revealed, n. 134.
"Rebellion, and judgment, and imprisonment, and execution and war,
are constantly used as the symbols of spiritual things: 80 are
adultery, fornication, divorce, and I may say, every form of
faithlessness. Natural life is altogether, by the Holy Spirit, made
to be but one allegory of spiritual things: all the substantial
attributes, or constant laws of life, are, to use a vulgar but very
expressive similitude, the fount of types with which the book of
inspiration is printed, in order to be made legible and intelligible
to the whole human family." - ED. IRVING, Works, Vol. I. p. 71.
