221 - No Air at All

By Jonathan S. Rose

Title: No Air at All

Topic: Word

Summary: The Bible is the living Word of God because it has a living spirit, a spiritual life, within it. To say that it has no depth of meaning is like saying it is a body with no spirit, no breath at all.

Arcana Coelestia #771

771. Since every expression in the Word comes from the Lord and so has the Divine within it, it is clear that not one expression, not even one iota, is there which does not mean and embody something. The same holds true here with the expressions 'the three wives', and also 'the wives of his Sons', as well as 'with them'. But what these particular phrases embody would take too long to explain. It is enough if one supplies just a general idea of their most general meanings.
