Marriage #48

  
/ 126  
  

48. Those of them who are in the heaven of the Mohammedans have only one wife, having rejected more. For there is a Mohammedan heaven distinct from the Christian heaven. But those who eventually, as many do, acknowledge the Lord as one with the Father are separated and are in heavens which communicate with the Christian heavens; and they have conjugial love.

Arcana Coelestia #4780

Study this Passage

  
/ 10837  
  

4780. 'And mourned over his son many days' means a state, namely one of mourning for lost good and truth. This is clear from the representation of Joseph, to whom 'son' refers here, as Divine Truth, specifically the truths spoken of above in 4776; and from the meaning of 'days' as states, dealt with in 23, 487, 488, 493, 893, 2788, 3785, in this case a state of great mourning since the expression 'many days' is used.
