1612. Arise, walk through the land. That this signifies that He should survey the heavenly kingdom, is evident from the signification of “the land,” as being the heavenly kingdom (spoken of several times before). To “arise and walk through the land,” in the sense of the letter, is to explore and see what it is; in the spiritual sense, therefore, in which by “the land,” that is, the land of Canaan, is signified the kingdom of God in the heavens, or heaven, and the kingdom of God on the earth, or the church, it signifies to survey, and also to perceive.
