Genesis 1:15

Study

       

15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #60

Studere hoc loco

60. Verse 31 And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning, a sixth day.

This verse says 'very good', whereas previous verses merely said 'good', for now the things of faith make one with those of love. A marriage has accordingly taken place between spiritual and celestial things.
