Meet
To "meet" someone can be positive or negative: it can be a welcoming and greeting, or it can be "meeting" them in battle. Both meanings are reflected in the internal sense of the Bible. In positive meetings between people, "meeting" represents a joining and communication between the spiritual states the people represent. In negative ones, however -- and especially in cases where the Lord is pictured as meeting someone -- it stands for opposition between the states. It's worth noting here that according to the Writings the Lord never actually opposes anyone. The Lord is love itself, and He is continually loving everyone and willing them to be good and move toward heaven. But when people reject His love and move away, it creates the appearance that He is opposing them, despite the fact that His attitude and stance toward all of us never changes.
In Genesis 14:17, this signifies to submit oneself. (Arcana Coelestia 1721)
In Genesis 19:1, this signifies acknowledgment, and also the effect that love for others has. (Arcana Coelestia 2326)
In Genesis 24:65, this signifies for the purpose of union. (Arcana Coelestia 3205)
In Genesis 29:13, this signifies agreement which unites. (Arcana Coelestia 3806)
In Genesis 32:6, this signifies that the good of love flowing into truth. (Arcana Coelestia 4247)
In Exodus 4:14, this signifies reception or to come prepared to receive divine truth. (Arcana Coelestia 7000)
Romans 4:8-13
8
Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin."
9
Is this blessing then pronounced on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.
10
How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11
He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.
12
He is the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.
13
For the promise to Abraham and to his seed that he should be heir of the world wasn't through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
