1828. Verse 10 And he took for himself all these, and parted each of them down the middle and laid each part opposite the other; but the birds he did not cut apart.

'And he took for himself all these' means this was carried out. 'And he divided them down the middle' means the Church and the Lord. 'And he laid each part opposite the other' means a parallelism and correspondence as regards celestial things. 'But the birds he did not divide' means that no such parallelism and correspondence existed in the case of spiritual things.
