Verse 18. And now, therefore, the Lord is acknowledged from the operation of inmost good celestial, involving a holy state of innocence in fullness and free from falsity, and also the good of innocence in the external and internal man by co-operation and conjunction with the Lord, and thus full sanctification by that conjunction, both as to good and truth, and as to exterior truth and good, all acknowledged to be from the Lord through his pure love for man, and resulting in a further state of rest and peace.

9745. 'A hundred cubits the length' means complete with good from the Lord. This is clear from the meaning of 'a hundred' as all, much, and what is complete, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'the length' as good, dealt with in 1613, 9487. The reason why it is good from the Lord is that the good of faith - by which those in the lowest heaven, represented by the court of the dwelling-place, are governed - originates in the Lord. 'A hundred' means all, much, and what is complete because it carries the same meanings as ten, a thousand, and ten thousand. As regards these latter numbers, that they have such meanings, see 2575, 3107, 4638, 8715; and as regards a hundred, 2636, 4400.
