The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 417
417. Internal Meaning of Genesis, Chapter 16
1-16 Conjunction of the truth and good of the natural man, from which there would be only an external church, which is rational.
But concerning all this see Arcana Coelestia, where [it is explained that] these things pertaining to the church signify things pertaining to the Lord; for all things of the Word in the spiritual sense treat of the church and heaven, but in the celestial sense of the Lord. (2)
Flight
Flight, as in Matthew 14:20, signifies removal from a state of the good of love and innocence.
