Apocalypse Explained #354

Проучи го овој пасус

  
/ 1232  
  

354. Come and see. That this signifies attention and perception, is clear from the signification of coming when anything is made visible, as denoting to attend; for by coming, in the spiritual sense, is meant to draw near with the sight, thus to attend; all attention also is from the presence of the sight in the object; and from the signification of beholding, as denoting perception, for by seeing in the Word is signified to understand (as may be seen above, n. 11, 260); here to perceive, because out of the inmost heaven; for what comes out of the inmost heaven, is perceived; but what comes out of the middle heaven, is understood. The reason is, that the inmost heaven is in the good of love, but the middle heaven is in the truths therefrom, and all perception is from good, and all understanding from truths. (Concerning this fact see above, n. 307; what perception is may be seen in the Doctrine of the New Jerusalem 140.)
