Arcana Coelestia＃83
83. 'The heavens and the earth and all the host of them' are said to be 'finished' when man has become 'the sixth day', for at that point faith and love make one. And when they do make one, love, which is the celestial, starts to be primary instead of faith, which is the spiritual; that is, he starts to be a celestial man.
Matthew 25:1-10
1
"Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom.
2
Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
3
Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them,
4
but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5
Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
6
But at midnight there was a cry, 'Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!'
7
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8
The foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'
9
But the wise answered, saying, 'What if there isn't enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.'
10
While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut.
