Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

7583. 'And the hail struck every plant of the field' means that those falsities destroyed all of the Church's truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'plant of the field' as the Church's truth, dealt with above in 7571; from the meaning of 'striking' as destroying; and from the meaning of 'hail' as falsity, dealt with in 7553.
