Arcana Coelestia #1009
1009. Verse 6 Whoever sheds man's blood in man, his blood shall be shed, for in the image of God He made man.
'Shedding man's blood in man' means destroying charity; 'in man' is residing with man. 'His blood shall be shed' means his condemnation. 'For in the image of God He made man' means charity, which is the image of God.
Face of the ground
In Genesis 8:8, this signifies what people in the church have in them, the word ground being used because this is a person's first stage in becoming a church.Later, the face of the ground being dried up in Genesis 8:13 signifies regeneration when falsities no longer appeared.
