21
Ja minä annan sen vieraitten käsiin ryöstettäväksi ja maan jumalattomien saaliiksi, ja ne häpäisevät sen.
Hesekiel 7:21
Arcana Coelestia #5885
5885. 'And he said, I am Joseph your brother' means a revelation made by means of influx. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying, I am Joseph your brother' as a revelation, as above in 5878. Influx is, it follows, the means by which that revelation is made because the internal does not act on the external in any other way, especially now since a more internal communication has been established, 5883. The revelation made by means of influx is, in the case of good, a discernment of good produced by an affection for truth, which is charity; but in the case of truth it is an acknowledgement of truth, which is faith.
Matthew 13:44-46
44
"Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.
45
"Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
46
who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
