Q.—What does “Apples of gold in pictures of silver” mean?
A.— “Divine fruit shown out in redemption,” for gold is always divine and silver always redemption; and as you see fruit the result of His holy Spirit within us, it is displayed on the beautiful picture of redemption which we are in Christ Jesus.
Fragment.
