Firmament

  

The firmament of heaven represents mutual love. The firmament, as in Genesis 1, signifies the internal man.

Commentary

 

Satan

  

In the Word, 'Satan' signifies people who are caught up in the pride of self-derived intelligence.

'Satan' 'the devil,' and 'the prince of the world,' signify hell. (True Christian Religion 116)
