Arcana Coelestia #3740
3740. 'And of all that You give me I will surely give You a tenth' means that by His own Divine power He made every single thing Divine. This is clear from the meaning of 'giving' when used in reference to the Lord as the fact that He gave to Himself, dealt with in 3705 (end), and so by His own power; and from the meaning of 'giving a tenth' and of 'tenths' as goods and truths which are stored away by the Lord in a person within the interior parts of him, which goods are called remnants, dealt with in 576, 1738, 2280. With reference to the Lord, Divine Goods and Divine Truths are meant, which the Lord acquired to Himself by His own power, see 1738, 1906.
Arcana Coelestia #636
636. 'I will destroy them together with the earth' means that the human race would perish together with the Church. This is clear from the fact that here the phrase 'together with the earth' is used. In fact, as previously stated, 'earth' in a broad sense means love and so the celestial things of the Church. Here because no love, nor anything celestial, was left it means self-love and that which is contrary to the celestial aspect of the Church. Despite this the member of the Church still existed because he possessed doctrinal matters concerning faith. For as has been stated, love includes faith within itself, and faith includes cognitions of faith, just as the earth includes the ground, and the ground includes the field.
