Arcana Coelestia # 7585
7585. 'Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail' means that they did not destroy anything where those who belonged to the spiritual Church were. This is clear from the meaning of 'the land of Goshen' as the inmost part of the natural mind, dealt with in 5910, 6028, 60311 6068, and as the Church, 6649; and from the representation of 'the children of Israel' as those who belong to the spiritual Church, dealt with in 6426, 6637, 6862, 6868, 7035, 7062, 7198, 7201, 7215, 7223.
Daniel 2:44-45
44
In the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall its sovereignty be left to another people; but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.
45
Because you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God has made known to the king what shall happen hereafter: and the dream is certain, and its interpretation sure.
