5888. 'And do not have any anger in your eyes' means sadness in the spirit or understanding. This is clear from the meaning of 'anger' here as sadness, for the words used here are a kind of repetition expressing much the same as those they follow - 'do not be grieved' - by which anxiety in the heart or will is meant (for when an apparent repetition occurs in the Word, one expression has reference to the will, the other to the understanding; or what amounts to the same, one has reference to the good of love, the other to the truth of faith. The reason for this is the heavenly marriage, which is one of goodness and truth, present in every detail of the Word, dealt with in 683, 793, 801, 2173, 2516, 2712, 5502); and from the meaning of 'eyes' as the understanding, dealt with in 2701, 4403-4421, 4523-4534.

Arcana Coelestia #5502

5502. 'And they trembled [turning] a man to his brother' means the dread shared by them all. This is clear from the meaning of 'trembling' as dread, and from the meaning of 'a man to his brother' as shared by all, as just above in 5498. The reason why fear is expressed by these two phrases, by 'their heart went out' and 'they trembled', is that one has reference to the will and the other to the understanding. For it is quite usual in the Word, especially in the prophetical part, for the same matter to be described twice, though with a change of words. Anyone unacquainted with the hidden reason for this may imagine that it is pointless repetition; but that is not the case. One expression has reference to good, the other to truth; and because good belongs in the will and truth in the understanding, one has reference at the same time to the will and the other to the understanding. The reason for this is that in the Word everything is holy, and this holiness comes from the heavenly marriage, which is the marriage of goodness and truth. This being so, heaven is present within the Word, and so too is the Lord, the All in all of heaven - present so fully that He is the Word. The Lord's two names Jesus Christ entail the same, the name Jesus entailing Divine Good and the name Christ Divine Truth, see 3004, 3005, 3008, 3009. From this it is also evident that the Lord is present in every part of the Word, present so fully that He is the Word itself. Regarding the marriage of goodness and truth, which is the heavenly marriage, in every detail of the Word, see 683, 793, 801, 2516, 2712, 5138. From this a further conclusion may be reached, that to live in expectation of heaven a person must have within him not only truth that is the truth of faith but also good that is the good of charity. Otherwise no heaven is present within him.
