39
Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wolves shall dwell there, and the ostriches shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
Jeremiah 50:39
Native
In Exodus 12:19, this signifies one who is born in the church. (Arcana Coelestia 7908)
In Leviticus 23:42, this signifies people in the good of charity. (Arcana Coelestia 9296[6])
Arcana Coelestia #7908
7908. 'Whether a sojourner or a native of the land' means someone belonging to the Church, whether he was not born in it or was born in it. This is clear from the meaning of 'a sojourner' as one who receives instruction in the Church's truths and forms of good and accepts them, dealt with in 1467, 4444, thus one who was not born within the Church but nevertheless joins it; and from the meaning of 'a native of the land' as one who was born within the Church.
