Explanation of Deuteronomy 3:21
Napsal(a) Alexander Payne
Verse 21. And the soul, being in a state of truth warring against evil, and zealous for good, has a fresh perception from the Divine truth of the Word; it is made evident to the understanding what the Lord by His Divine goodness and truth has done to the false principles derived from the love of self and the love of the world in the externals of the soul; and confidence is now given that the Lord will reduce under the power of the regenerate will all opposition from evil and falses in the more interior states towards which the regenerate are progressing.

This becomes clear from the consideration that the stone supported Moses and 'Moses' represents the highest level of truth, which is God's truth that goes forth directly from the Lord. When the lowest level of truth corresponds with this highest level of truth it supports it, for they act as one. Interior truths are joined to exterior, and finally to the lowest through the correspondence [of each level with the one above it]. Highest truth then has might within the lowest, because it resides in it and acts through it. But if there is no such correspondence they are disjoined, and consequently highest truth has no might within lowest. What correspondence is may be seen from the extensive presentation, at the ends of a number of chapters, of the correspondence of all aspects of the human being with the Grand Man.
