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 #1014

Study this Passage

  
/ 10837  
  

1014. Verse 7 And you, be fruitful and multiply; swarm over the earth and multiply in it.

'Be fruitful and multiply' here, as previously, means increases in good and truth in the interior man, 'being fruitful' having reference to goods, and 'multiplying' to truths. 'Swarm over the earth and multiply in it' means increases in good and truth in the external man, which man is 'the earth' - 'swarming' having reference to goods, 'multiplying' to truths.
