21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

Meat

  

'Meat,' as in Genesis 40:17, signifies celestial good, because 'the meat of the angels' are nothing but the goods of love and charity, which not only enliven them, but also re-create them.

The Most Important Teachings About Order

By Rev. Prescott A. Rogers

Christ driving the money-changers from the temple

And God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. (Genesis 1:31).

1. All order is from the Lord.

2. It exists in all of creation, spiritual and natural.

3. Disorder is the perversion of order, and it exists in hell and in the world.

4. Order is a matter of essence, having to do with love and wisdom, and of form.
