Fear not

  

Fear not, as in Genesis 20:8, signifies aversion. To fear signifies to disbelieve or not to have faith and love, as in Isaiah 43:1, 5; 44:8; Mark 5:36; Luke 1:73, 75; 4:40; 8:49; 12:7, 32.

Fear not, as in Revelation 1:17; Daniel 10:5, 12; Matthew 17:5, 7; 28:10, etc., signifies resuscitation to life, and at the same time adoration from the most profound humiliation.

6243. 'Rachel died on me in the land of Canaan' means the end of a former affection for interior truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'dying' as ceasing to be such as it had been, dealt with in 494, and as the end of a former representation, 3253, 3259, 3276, 5975; and from the representation of 'Rachel' as the affection for interior truth, dealt with in 3758, 3782, 3793, 3819.
