Explanation of Numbers 1:44

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 44. And all these involve the particular truths of the church, which are ordinated and arranged by Divine Truth and Divine Good, during man's co-operation, in the process of regeneration; and by means of primary truths, each grounded in its own good.

7256. Everything in all creation that is in keeping with Divine order is connected with goodness and truth, and everything in all creation that is contrary to Divine order is connected with evil and falsity. The reason for this is that goodness and truth, which emanate from the Divine, constitute order so completely that they are order itself.
