Study

       

6 I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the watercourses shall be full of thee.

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Apocalypse Revealed #568

Studere hoc loco

568. Having seven heads. This symbolizes the irrationality resulting from their absolute falsities, like the seven heads of the dragon (no. 538).

Commentarius

 

Word

  

'Word,' as in Isaiah 9:8, signifies the doctrine of internal and external worship. 'Word,' as in Psalms 119:6-17, stands for doctrine in general.

'The Word,' as in Psalms 147:18, signifies divine good united with divine truth.

The whole Word is nothing but the doctrine of love towards the Lord, and love towards our neighbor, as in Matthew 22.
