18
Nang araw na yaon, ang Panginoon ay nakipagtipan kay Abram, na nagsabi, Sa iyong binhi ibinigay ko ang lupaing ito, mula sa ilog ng Egipto hanggang sa malaking ilog, na ilog Eufrates.
Genesis 15:18
Arcana Coelestia # 1836
1836. Verse 12 And as the sun was going down a deep sleep came over Abram, and, behold, a dread of a great darkness was coming over him.
'As the sun was going down' means the period of time and the state just before the close. 'And a deep sleep came over Abram' means that the Church was at that time in darkness. 'And, behold, a dread of great darkness was coming over him' means that it was a dreadful darkness, darkness' being falsities.
