5362. And there was famine in all lands. That this signifies desolation everywhere in the natural, is evident from the signification of "famine," as being desolation (see above, n. 5360); and from the signification of "all lands," as being everywhere in the natural. (That "land" denotes the natural mind, thus the natural, may also be seen above, n. 5276, 5278, 5280, 5288, 5301.)
