246. 'And within they were full of eyes' signifies the Divine Wisdom in the Word in the natural sense out of its spiritual and celestial sense. That by the 'animals full of eyes before and behind' is signified the Divine Wisdom in the Word may be seen above (n. 240); and in like manner here by [the statement] that the wings were 'full of eyes'. Because also the Divine Wisdom of the Word in the natural sense results from the spiritual and celestial sense that lies hidden within, it is therefore said that 'within they were full of eyes'. Concerning the spiritual and celestial senses that are within the details of the Word, THE DOCTRINE OF THE NEW JERUSALEM CONCERNING THE SACRED SCRIPTURE (n. 5-26) may be seen.
