Arcana Coelestia #2387
2387. And the men said unto Lot. That this signifies that the Lord admonishes those who are in the good of charity, is evident from the signification of the “men,” as being the Lord (see n. 2378); from the signification of “saying,” as being to admonish; and from the representation of Lot, as being those who are in the good of charity (see n. 2324, 2351, 2371). Hence these words, “the men said unto Lot,” signifies that the Lord admonishes those who are in the good of charity.

2372. And shall he judge indeed? That this signifies, Shall they teach us? is evident from the signification of “judging,” as being to teach. That “righteousness” is predicated of the practice of good, but “judgment” of the instruction of truth, was shown above (n. 2235); hence in the internal sense to “judge” is to instruct or teach. To teach truth is the same as to teach what is good, because all truth looks to good.
