2903. THE INTERNAL SENSE

Verse 1 And the life 1 of Sarah was a hundred and twenty-seven years - the years of the life 1 of Sarah.

'The life of Sarah was' means all the preceding times and states of the Church as regards Divine truths. 'A hundred and twenty-seven years' means their completion. 'The years of the life of Sarah' means when any Divine truth still existed on earth.
