Study

       

55 ειπαν δε οι αδελφοι αυτης και η μητηρ μεινατω η παρθενος μεθ' ημων ημερας ωσει δεκα και μετα ταυτα απελευσεται

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #3150

Studere hoc loco

3150. 'And he said, I am not eating' means refusal, that is to say, the affection for good in the natural man had not yet made those Divine things its own. This is clear without explanation.
