1
Pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito ay dumating ang salita ng Panginoon kay Abram sa pangitain na nagsasabi, Huwag kang matakot, Abram: ako ang iyong kalasag, at ang iyong ganting pala na lubhang dakila.
Genesis 15:1
Arcana Coelestia #1797
1797. Verse 3 And Abram said, See, to me You have not given seed, and behold, a son of my house is my heir.
'Abram said, See, to me You have not given seed' means that there was no internal dimension of the Church, which is love and faith. 'Behold, a son of my house is my heir' means that in the Lord's kingdom there would be only that which is external.
