781. Verse 16 And those who were going in, male and female of all flesh, went in, as God had commanded him; and Jehovah closed the way behind him.

'Those who were going in' means things residing with the member of the Church. 'Male and female of all flesh went in' means that truths and goods of every kind resided with him. 'As God had commanded' means for the reception of which he had been made ready. 'And Jehovah closed the way behind him' means that man no longer had the kind of communication with heaven that the member of the celestial Church had had.
