181. Internal Meaning of Daniel, Chapter 10

1-6 Manifestation of the Lord, (1)

7-21 to reveal those things that will be in the new church respecting such as are in faith alone, and respecting such as are in truths from good, who are meant here by Michael. 11 (11)

'Look not back behind thee,' as in Genesis 19:17, means that Lot, who represents the good of charity, should not look to matters of doctrine. 'To look up,' is to look to celestial things. In Genesis 18:22, looking signifies thinking because seeing denotes understanding.
