Arcana Coelestia #5493

Study this Passage

5493. 'And went from there' means subsequent life. This is clear from the meaning of 'going' as living, dealt with in 3335, 3690, 4882. The way in which 'going' in the spiritual sense means living is similar to that involved in the matters discussed immediately above in 5492.
