Genesi 6:22
To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.
Arcana Coelestia # 604
604. Che le verità e i beni che erano presso di lei si sarebbero salvati (versetto 18); e quindi ciò che apparteneva all'intelletto e alla volontà, per mezzo della rigenerazione (versi 19-20). Perché in quanto ricevente, doveva essere preparata (versetto 21); e che così fu fatto (versetto 22).
Length
'Length' symbolizes the goodness of the church for the same reason that 'breadth' symbolizes truth. This is because 'length' indicates the sweep of heaven from east to west, and 'breadth' means the sweep of heaven from south to north. Angels who dwell in the eastern and western zones in heaven are in the goodness of love, while angels who dwell in the southern and northern zones in heaven are in truths of wisdom. The same is true with the church on earth, for everyone who is in the church's goods and truths from the Word is associated with angels in heaven, and each person dwells with them in the interiors of their mind -- people in the goodness of love in the eastern and western zones of heaven, and people who are in truths of wisdom in the southern and northern zones of heaven. No one is aware of this, but everyone goes to his place after death.
