Arcana Coelestia # 6833
6833. 'And he saw, and behold, the bramble bush was burning with fire' means a recognition that true factual knowledge was full of the good of God's love. This is clear from the meaning of 'seeing' as recognizing, dealt with in 2150, 3764, 4567, 4723, 5400; from the meaning of 'a bramble bush' as true factual knowledge, dealt with immediately above in 6832; and from the meaning of 'fire' as God's love, dealt with in 934 (end), 4906, 5071, 5215, 6314, 6832, so that 'burning with fire' means to be full of the good of God's love.
