39
Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the isles, shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
Jeremiah 50:39
Arcana Coelestia # 469
469. Verse 1 This is the book of the generations of Man. On the day in which God created Man, in the likeness of God He made him.
'The book of the generations' is a record of those who belonged to the Most Ancient Church. 'On the day in which God created Man' means his being made spiritual. 'In the likeness of God He made him' means his being made celestial. So it is a description of the Most Ancient Church.
