Arcana Coelestia # 283
283. The fourth generation among whom natural good began to melt away is dealt with in verse 22. Had they been created anew or received instruction in heavenly matters of faith they would have perished, which is the meaning of 'by chance he will put out his hand and also take from the tree of life 1 and live for ever'.

#147 Sin: The Way In, and the Way Out
Napsal(a) Jonathan S. Rose
Title: Sin: The Way In and the Way Out
Topic: First Coming
Summary: Scripture says that sin comes first into our desires, then into our thoughts, and finally, if we let it, into our actions. When it hits the level of action, everything changes. The way it leaves us is the same way it came: first from our actions, then from our thoughts, and finally from our desires.
