Behind
To be behind, (Genesis 18:10), signifies not to be joined together, but at his back. What is separated from any one, this is represented in another life, by a kind of rejection, as it were, to the back. (Arcana Coelestia 2196)
In Genesis 19:17, this signifies being away from doctrinal things. (Arcana Coelestia 2417)
In Genesis 16:13, Here, behind, or after, signifies within or above, or an interior or superior principle.
In Revelation 1:10, 'behind' signifies that people who do not approach the Lord only (Apocalypse Revealed 42)
