και ωκοδομησας σεαυτη οικημα πορνικον και εποιησας σεαυτη εκθεμα εν παση πλατεια
Apocalypse Explained #241
241. Verse 18. I counsel thee, signifies the means of reformation of those who are in the doctrine of faith alone. This is evident from what now follows, for the reformation of those who are in that doctrine is now treated of; therefore "I counsel thee" implies precepts as to how such must live that they may be reformed and thus saved.
Heaven and Hell #124
124. Because the Lord is the Sun of heaven and all things from Him look to Him, the Lord is also the common centre, the source of all direction and determination. 1 So, too, all things beneath are in His presence and under His auspices, both in the heavens and on earth.
Bilješke:
1. [Swedenborg's footnote] The Lord is the common centre to which all things of heaven turn themselves (Arcana Coelestia 3633).
