1810. '[And He said to him] So will your seed be' means heirs of the Lord's kingdom. This is clear from the meaning of 'seed' as love and faith deriving from it, or what amounts to the same, people in whom love and faith are present - both angels and men. That 'seed' has this meaning has been stated and shown in several places already. In general these words mean the Lord's kingdom, whose vastness and greatness in number surpasses anyone's belief. No other word than BOUNDLESS can describe it, a boundlessness which will in the Lord's Divine mercy be discussed elsewhere. It is this boundlessness that is here meant by the words of this verse, 'Look, now, towards heaven and count the stars, if you are able to count them. And He said to him, So will your seed be.' These same words in addition mean the countless goods and truths that are part of wisdom and intelligence, together with the happiness that goes with these, present with every angel.
