Metaphysical meaning of chords, scourge of (mbd)
cords, scourge of.
cords, scourge of (John 2:15); a rope or cord made of rushes.
Meta. The "scourge of small cords" (A.V.) signifies the formulated word or statement of denial. When we deny in general terms we erase or cleanse the whole consciousness, like taking a bath; but secret sins may lurk in the inner parts and remain. The words that reach these are not the great ones, such as "I am one with Almightiness; my environment is God," but some small, definite statements, that cut into them like whipcords.
