Ut pergas pasco dum audis, audi in fenestra nova.

We're starting a 3-week series on complaining. When we're trying to grow spiritually, it is okay to complain to God and ask for His help so we can enjoy giving up things we love.

(Notae: Arcana Coelestia 8165, 8413; Exodus 2:23-25, 14:11-13, 15:23-25, 16:2-4, 17:1-6)

8444. 'And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying' means truth that goes forth from the Lord's Divine and holds the Lord's presence within it. This is clear from the meaning of 'speaking' as influx and instruction, as above in 8441; and from the representation of 'Moses' as truth that goes forth from the Lord's Divine, dealt with in 6752, 6771, 6827, 7010, 7014, 7089, 7382. The Lord's presence within truth from the Divine is meant by Jehovah's speaking to Moses from the cloud in which the glory of Jehovah was seen; for 'the glory of Jehovah' is the Lord's presence within truth that goes forth from Him, 8427.
