Commentary

 

Spirits

  

In Genesis 1:2, this signifies the Lord's mercy. (Arcana Coelestia 19)

This signifies the Divine Truth. (Arcana Coelestia 24)

This signifies, when spoken of the Lord, the very Divine Life, consequently Himself, in particular the Life of His Wisdom. (Arcana Coelestia 49, 50, 51)

In Habakkuk 2:19, this signifies nothing celestial or spiritual there. (Arcana Coelestia 643[2])

In Ezekiel 13:11, this signifies the desolation of falsity. (Arcana Coelestia 739[2])

In Isaiah 11:4, this signifies doctrine. (Arcana Coelestia 1286[2])

'The seven spirits' in Revelation 1:4 signify everyone in divine truth, and by extension, the divinely true things or divine truth itself. 'The seven spirits' in Matthew 12:45 signify all falsities of evil, and as a result, a total extinction of goodness and truth.
