6856. 'To a land good and broad' means to heaven where the good of charity and the truth of faith are. This is clear from the meaning of 'land', in this instance the land of Canaan, as the Lord's kingdom, and so heaven, dealt with in 1607, 3038, 3481, 3705, 4447; from the meaning of 'a good land' as the presence of the good of charity there; and from the meaning of 'a broad land' as the presence of the truth of faith there. For the meaning of 'broad' as truth which is the truth of faith, see 3433, 3434, 4482.
