31
`And I have set thy border from the Red Sea, even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness unto the River: for I give into your hand the inhabitants of the land, and thou hast cast them out from before thee;
Exodus 23:31
Sentence
In Jeremiah 4:12, this signifies a judgment or verdict against people who are in evil and falsity who are unwilling to receive goods and truths. (The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms 70)
In Psalm 17:2, this relates to the integrity of the Lord's earthly life. (The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms 267)
Arcana Coelestia # 9326
9326. 'I will fulfill the number of your days' means all the way to a state of completeness. This is clear from the meaning of 'days' as states of life, dealt with in 23, 487, 488, 493, 893, 2788, 3462, 3785, 4850, 5672, 5962, 6110, 7680, 8426, in this instance the state of new life or spiritual life, which is that of one who has been regenerated; and from the meaning of 'fulfilling the number' as continuing to completeness. All the way to a state of completeness means even until a person has been regenerated. The development of the truths and forms of good in their proper order, in continuous progression - meant by the words 'none will suffer miscarriage or be barren in the land', dealt with immediately above in 9325 - continues all the way to such completeness.
