Arcana Coelestia # 19
19. 'The Spirit of God' is used to mean the Lord's mercy, which is said 'to hover', like a hen over eggs, over what the Lord stores away in man and which in the Word are frequently called 'remnants'. These remnants are cognitions of truth and good which never come to light or into daylight until external things have been laid waste. These cognitions are here called 'the face 1 of the waters'.
Poznámky pod čarou:
1. literally, the faces
Revelation 22:14
14
Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.
