7634. And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son’s son, what things I have wrought in Egypt. That this signifies that they who are in truth and good may know what befalls those who are of the church and infest the upright, is evident from the signification of “telling in the ears,” as being that they may know and take notice; and from the signification of “son,” and “son’s son,” as being those who are in truth and good. (That “son” denotes truth, see n. 489-491, 1147, 2623, 3373; also that the “sons of sons” denote the things derived, n. 6583.) Here “sons” denote those who are in truth and also in good, because by them are signified those who are of the church; and therefore “thy son’s son” is said to Moses, by whom is represented the law Divine, which is the Divine truth proceeding from the Lord’s Divine good; thus it is the Divine truth to which is united the Divine good (n. 7623, 7624), from which is the church: and from the signification of “what things I have wrought in Egypt,” as being that which befalls those who in the other life infest the upright. That by “signs” is signified that which befalls, and by “Pharaoh and the Egyptians” those who in the other life infest, is evident from what has been said before. (That they who infest have been of the church may be seen above, n. 7633)

7624. When Good and Truth proceed from the Lord they are completely united, and so united as to be not two, but one. Consequently they are one in heaven; and because they are one in heaven, heaven is an image of the Lord. It would be the same with the church if charity and faith therein were a one.
