Apocalypse Explained #221

Study this Passage

  
/ 1232  
  

221. And he shall go out thence no more, signifies that they shall be in it to eternity. This is evident from the signification of "going in 1 thence no more," when it is said of heaven and the Divine truth there (which are signified by "the temple of God"), as being that they shall be steadfast in these to eternity.

Footnotes:

1. For "going in" the context requires "going out."

36. The Inner Self and the Outer Self

We are created in such a way that we are in the spiritual world and the earthly world at one and the same time. The spiritual world is where angels are and the earthly world is where we are. And since that is how we are created, we are given an inner nature and an outer nature-an inner nature that allows us to be in the spiritual world, and an outer nature that allows us to be in the earthly world. Our inner nature is what we refer to as the inner self, and our outer nature is what we refer to as the outer self.
