ANAGOGE. This is one of the four senses wherein the Scripture is interpreted, viz. the literal, allegorical, anagogical, and tropological. The anagogical sense is, when the sacred text is explained with a regard to the end which Christians should have in view, and this is eternal life. For example, the rest of the Sabbath, in the anagogical sense, signifies the repose of everlasting blessedness.
