Arcana Coelestia #2924

Study this Passage

  
/ 10837  
  

2924. None of us shall withhold from thee his sepulcher. That this signifies that they were all prepared to receive regeneration, is evident from the signification of a “sepulcher” as being regeneration (see n. 2916); and from the signification of “not withholding,” as being willingness to receive.
