Find

  

Finding, or being found, can have different meanings in the Word, depending on the context. Here are two examples:

From Arcana Coelestia 5756, 'Behold, the silver which we found in the mouth of our pouches' means when truth freely given.

In Revelation 18:21, we find this: "And one strong angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be cast down, and shall not be found any more." Here, "to not to be found any more," signifies not to rise again, according to Apocalypse Explained 1183.

4900. Verses 24-26 And so it was about three months later, that it was pointed out to Judah, saying, Tamar your daughter-in-law has committed whoredom, and also, behold, she is pregnant owing to acts of whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her out, and let her be burnt. She was brought out; and she sent to her father-in-law, saying, By the man to whom these belong I am pregnant. And she said, Acknowledge now to whom these belong, the seal and the cord and the rod. And Judah acknowledged them and said, She is more righteous than I am, seeing that I have not given her to Shelah my son. And he did not know her ever again.

'So it was about three months later' means a new state. 'That it was pointed out to Judah' means communication. 'Saying, Tamar your daughter-in-law has committed whoredom' means a perception at this point that to say anything of marriage exists between them is a falsity. 'And also, behold, she is pregnant owing to acts of whoredom' means, or to say anything can be brought forth from this. 'And Judah said' means the verdict of the semblance of religion existing among the Jewish nation. 'Bring her out, and let her be burnt' means that it should be exterminated. 'She was brought out' means near to being carried out. 'And she sent to her father-in-law' means an intimation. 'Saying, By the man to whom these belong I am pregnant' means that this characteristic was contained in their semblance of religion. 'And she said, Acknowledge now to whom these belong, the seal and the cord and the rod' means that one could recognize it from the pledges. 'And Judah acknowledged them' means that because these were theirs they affirmed that they were. 'And said, She is more righteous than I am' means that no joining of what was external to what was internal existed, only what was internal to what was external. 'Seeing that I have not given her to Shelah my son' means because what was external was of such a nature. 'And he did not know her ever again' means that there was no further joining together.
