1177. He was a mighty one in the earth. That this signifies that such a religion prevailed in the church, may be seen from what presently follows. That the “earth” is the church has been shown before n. 620, 636, 662, and elsewhere).

620. That by the “earth” is signified the race which has been treated of before, is evident from what has already been told respecting the signification of “earth” and of “ground.” The “earth” 1 is a term very often used in the Word; and by it is signified the “land” where the true church of the Lord is, as the “land” of Canaan; also a “land” where there is not a church, as the “land” of Egypt, and of the Gentiles. Thus it denotes the race that dwells there; and as it denotes the race, it denotes likewise everyone of the race who is there. The church is called the “land” from celestial love, as the “land of Canaan;” and the “land of the Gentiles” from impure loves. But it is called “ground” from faith which is implanted; for, as has been said, the land or country is the containant of the ground, and the ground is the containant of the field, just as love is the containant of faith, and faith is the containant of the knowledges of faith which are implanted. Here the “earth” is taken for a race in which everything of celestial love and of the church had perished. What is predicated is known from the subject.

1. The Latin word terra means both “earth” and “land.” [Reviser.]
