7
Darum sollen sie nun vornean gehen unter denen, die gefangen weggeführet werden, und soll das Schlemmen der Pranger aufhören.
Amos 6:7
Jacob's ladder
The truths of a person's early and later childhood serve the angels of God 'to go up on a ladder' from earth to heaven. But later, the truths of his adult life serve the angels of God 'to come down on the ladder' from heaven to earth.
(References: Arcana Coelestia 3701, Genesis 28:12)
