เฉลยธรรมบัญญัติ 20:16
Many thanks to Philip Pope for the permission to use his 2003 translation of the English King James Version Bible into Thai. Here's a link to the mission's website: www.thaipope.org
Wood
'Wood' signifies good, as well the good of love to the Lord as the good of charity towards our neighbor.
(Odkazy: Arcana Coelestia 3969)
Arcana Coelestia # 2834
2834. 'And offered it as a burnt offering instead of his son' means their sanctification and adoption. This is clear from the meaning of 'offering as a burnt offering' as being sanctified, dealt with in 2776, and from the meaning of 'instead of his son' as being adopted, that is to say, by the Lord's Divine Human, meant here by 'Abraham', 2833. The adoption of those who were spiritual is described in John,
Jesus said, I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for without Me you can do nothing. John 15:5.
'The vine' is the spiritual Church, see 1069.
