26
Ja tämä on sen selitys: mene merkitsee: Jumala on laskenut sinun valtakuntasi luvun ja on tehnyt siitä lopun.
Daniel 5:26
Apocalypse Explained # 241
241. Verse 18. I counsel thee, signifies the means of reformation of those who are in the doctrine of faith alone. This is evident from what now follows, for the reformation of those who are in that doctrine is now treated of; therefore "I counsel thee" implies precepts as to how such must live that they may be reformed and thus saved.
Heaven and Hell # 251
251. The influx of the Lord Himself with man is into his forehead, and thence into the whole face, because the forehead of man corresponds to love, and the face corresponds to all his interiors. 1 The influx of spiritual angels with man is into his head from every direction, from the forehead and temples to the whole part containing the cerebrum, because that region of the head corresponds to intelligence. The influx of celestial angels, however, is into that part of the head containing the cerebellum, and this is called the occiput, from the ears all round even to the neck, for that region corresponds to wisdom. All the speech of angels with man enters by these ways into his thought. By this means I have perceived what angels they were who spoke with me.

1. [Swedenborg's footnote] The "forehead" corresponds to celestial love, and consequently in the Word signifies that love (Arcana Coelestia 9936).
The "face" corresponds to the interiors of man, which belong to thought and affection (Arcana Coelestia 1568, 2988-2989, 3631, 4796-4797, 4800, 5165, 5168, 5695, 9306).
The face is formed to a correspondence of the interiors (Arcana Coelestia 4791-4805, 5695). Consequently the "face", in the Word, signifies the interiors (Arcana Coelestia 1999, 2434, 3527, 4066, 4796).
