Arcana Coelestia # 53
53. Verse 27 And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him. 'Image' is mentioned twice here for the reason that faith, which resides in the understanding, is called 'His own image', while love, which resides in the will, is called 'the image of God'. The latter comes second in a spiritual man but first in a celestial man.
Morning and also the night
In Isaiah 21:12, this signifies that, although there is illumination with people in the new church, people in the old church are still in a state of darkness and night. (Arcana Coelestia 10134[11])
