King

  
Meeting of three kings in Potsdam and Charlottenburg, 1709, by Samuel Theodor Gericke

In Genesis 14:1, kings signify apparent goods and truths having the upper hand. In the next verse, they stand for the dominant evils and falsities against which the Lord fought as he passed He grew up on Earth.

In Genesis 14:3, we see that these evils and falsities were unclean; and in Genesis 14:4, that they burst forth later. (Arcana Coelestia 1661-1664).

In Genesis 14:14-15, this signifies that the Lord gained victory over them the evils represented earlier in the chapter. (Arcana Coelestia 1711-1715)

In Isaiah 33:17, a king signifies seeing genuine truth. (Apocalypse Explained 304[31])

In Revelation 9:11, a king signifies one who is in truth from an affection for what is good, and abstractly that truth itself -- here, in the opposite sense. (Apocalypse Revealed 440)

10268. 'And with it you shall anoint the tent of meeting' means in order to represent what is Divine and the Lord's in the heavens. This is clear from the meaning of 'to anoint with the holy oil' as to produce a representation of the Divine Good of the Lord's Divine Love as to His Divine Human, for 'anointing' means producing a representation (things which had been anointed were called holy not because of the oil but because of the representation of what was Divine, which oil is the sign of; for 'oil' is a sign of the Divine Good of Divine Love, and 'holiness' a sign of the Divine Human since the Human alone is holy, as becomes clear from what has been shown above in 9954, 10011, 10019, 10264-10267); and from the meaning of 'the tent of meeting' as heaven in its complete entirety - the inmost or third heaven being meant by the place where the ark of the Testimony was; the middle or second by the place where the table with the loaves of the presence, the lampstand, and the altar of incense were; and the lowest or first by the place where the court was, regarding all of which, see 9457, 9481, 9485, 9784, 9963, 10230, 10242, 10245. From all this it is evident that 'anointing the tent of meeting' means producing a representation of the Divine Good of the Lord's Divine Love as to His Divine Human; and since this is meant by 'anointing the tent of meeting', in order to represent what is Divine and the Lord's in the heavens is also meant. For heaven is heaven not by virtue of anything in angels that is entirely their own, only by virtue of what is Divine and the Lord's with them, see 9408, 10125, 10151, 10157, 10159.
