Exploring the Meaning of Exodus 2

By New Christian Bible Study Staff

Arcana Coelestia 6713. In this chapter in the internal sense the subject treated of is truth Divine, its beginnings and successive states with the man of the church.

Arcana Coelestia 6714. In the supreme sense the subject treated of is the Lord, how He as to the Human became the law Divine. Moses represents the Lord as to the law Divine, which is the Word; and in the relative sense he represents truth Divine with the man of the church.

6712. From all this one may now see what anyone belonging to the Church should make the origin of the neighbour reside in, and that the closer a person is to the Lord the more he is the neighbour. One may also see that because the Lord is present within the good of charity, a person is the neighbour according to the nature of the good and so of the charity in him.
