Acco in the Bible — Hidden Meaning & Symbolism

Acco (A. V., Accho), ac'-eo (Heb.)-- sandy compression; heated sand. A town on the Mediterranean coast in Palestine. The inhabitants of this city were some of the enemies that Asher had failed to drive out of the land of Canaan (Judg. 1:31). Meta. An aggregation of thoughts in the sense or carnal consciousness of man that believe in suppression, limitation, irritation, bondage (compression, heated sand). These thoughts are so material in their concepts that they cannot believe in the overcoming power and strength of Spirit; it takes something more than the happy, joyous state of mind that Asher represents to bring them under control and to transmute their energies into constructive thoughts and uses.
