Matteus 24:29-31

Проучване

      

29 Men strax efter den tidens vedermöda skall solen förmörkas och månen upphöra att giva sitt sken, och stjärnorna skola falla ifrån himmelen, och himmelens makter skola bäva.

30 Och då skall Människosonens tecken visa sig på himmelen, och alla släkter på jorden skola då jämra sig. Och man skall få se 'Människosonen komma på himmelens skyar' med stor makt och härlighet.

31 Och han skall sända ut sina änglar med starkt basunljud, och de skola församla hans utvalda från de fyra väderstrecken, från himmelens ena ända till den andra.

188. The angels of whom the Lord's celestial kingdom consists dwell for the most part in elevated places that appear as mountains of soil; the angels of whom the Lord's spiritual kingdom consists dwell in less elevated places that appear like hills; while the angels in the lowest parts of heaven dwell in places that appear like ledges of stone. These things spring from correspondence, for interior things correspond to higher things, and exterior things to lower things; 1 and this is why in the Word "mountains" signify celestial love, "hills" spiritual love, and "rocks" faith. 2

1. [Swedenborg's footnote] Arcana Coelestia 2148, 3084, 4599, 5146, 8325).

What is "high" signifies what is internal, and likewise heaven (1735, 2148, 4210, 4599, 8153).

2. [Swedenborg's footnote] In heaven, mountains, hills, rocks, valleys, and lands are seen exactly the same as in the world, (10608).

On the mountains angels who are in the good of love dwell, on the hills those who are in the good of charity, on the rocks those who are in the good of faith (10438).

Therefore in the Word "mountains" signify the good of love (795, 4210, 6435, 8327, 8758, 10438, 10608).

"Hills" signify the good of charity (6435, 10438).

"Rocks" signify the good and truth of faith (8581, 10580).

"Stone," of which rock consists, in like manner signifies the truth of faith (114, 643, 1298, 3720, 6426, 8609, 10376).

This is why "mountains" signify heaven (8327, 8805, 9420).

And "the summit of a mountain" signifies the highest part of heaven (9422, 9434, 10608).

Also why the ancients had their holy worship on mountains (796, 2722).
