Arcana Coelestia #3323

/ 10837  
  

3323. Verses 31-33 And Jacob said, Sell me - as if today - your birthright. And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die; so what is this birthright to me? And Jacob said, Swear to me, as if today; and he swore to him, and he sold his birthright to Jacob.

'Jacob said' means the doctrine of truth. 'Sell me - as if today - your birthright' means that in the short term the doctrine of truth was apparently prior. 'And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die' means that [the good of the natural] would after that rise again 'So what is this birthright to me?' means that at this time there is no need for that good to be prior. 'And Jacob said' means the doctrine of truth. 'Swear to me, as if today; and he swore to him' means confirmation. 'And he sold his birthright to Jacob' means that in the meantime priority was conceded [to the doctrine of truth].

Daniel 11:40-41

Study

      

40 At the time of the end shall the king of the south contend with him; and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass through.

41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many [countries] shall be overthrown; but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
