Marriage # 113
113. That this is the origin of true conjugial love can also be established from the fact that no one can be in it unless he is in good by means of truth, and in truth from good proceeding from the Lord; also from the fact that there is blessedness and heavenly happiness in that love, and all who are in it come into heaven or the heavenly marriage; also from the fact that when there is talk among the angels of the union of good and truth, then in the lower region among good spirits a representation of marriage is produced, but among wicked spirits a representation of adultery. This is why the adulteration of good and the falsification of truth are called adultery and whoring.
Isaiah 33:20-22
20
Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
21
But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
22
For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.
