Arcana Coelestia # 8621
8621. 'And put it in the ears of Joshua' means with a view to obedience on the part of truth engaged in conflict with that falsity. This is clear from the meaning of 'putting in the ears' as with a view to obedience (for the meaning of 'ear' as obedience, see 2542, 3869, 4652-4660); and from the representation of 'Joshua' as truth engaged in conflict with falsity arising from interior evil, dealt with in 8595.
Johannes 5:27
27
und er hat ihm Gewalt gegen, auch Gericht zu halten, weil er des Menschen Sohn ist.
