15. Throughout heaven they do not know any other Father than the Lord, for They are one, as He Himself has said,

I am the way, the truth, and the life. Philip said, Show us the Father. Jesus said to him, Have I been with you so long, and yet you do not know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father. So why do you say, Show us the Father? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in Me? Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me. John 14:6, 8-11.

Arcana Coelestia #6691

Study this Passage

6691. Verse 22 And Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, Every son who is born you shall throw into the river, and every daughter you shall keep alive.

'And Pharaoh commanded all his people' means a general influx into factual knowledge opposed to the Church's truths. 'Saying, Every son who is born you are to throw into the river' means that all truths that appeared should be drowned in falsities. 'And every daughter you shall keep alive' means that they should not attack good.
