Και οτε εξηγαγον αυτους εξω, ειπεν ο Κυριος, Διασωσον την ζωην σου· μη περιβλεψης οπισω σου, και μη σταθης καθ' ολην την περιχωρον· διασωθητι εις το ορος, δια να μη απολεσθης.
Γένεση 19:17
Arcana Coelestia #2462
2462. 'For he was afraid to dwell in Zoar' means because he was unable any more to look to good from the affection for truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'Zoar' as the affection for truth, 2439. When this has been vastated a person is no longer able to look to good from that affection. At such times also the fear of all truth is present, for truth runs counter to the good of an impure love.
