Commentary

 

Passover

  

'The feast of the Passover' signifies celebration of the Lord because of liberation from damnation, which is effected by regeneration. In the highest sense, it was a memorial of the glorification of the Lord's humanity, because that liberation comes from this glorification. 'The Passover,' in Exodus 12:27, signifies the presence of the Lord and His liberation from damnation of the people of the spiritual church. 'The Passover' signifies the Lord's glorification, that is, the taking on of the divine regarding the human, and in a representative sense, it signifies the regeneration of mankind.

7807. While the chastiser spirit was with me the angelic spirits kept my face all the time cheerful and smiling, the area around my lips projecting, and my mouth [slightly] opened. (Angels can accomplish this very easily by means of influx.) They said that when they are present with the inhabitants of their planet they produce that kind of expression on their faces.
