3380. 'And in your seed all the nations of the earth will be blessed' means all with whom good is present, both inside and outside the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'being blessed' as being fruitful in good, and being multiplied in truths, dealt with above in 981, 1422, 1731, 2846, 3140; from the meaning of 'seed' as goods and truths that are from the Lord, dealt with above in 3373; and from the meaning of 'the nations of the earth' as all with whom good is present - 'nations' meaning goods, or what amounts to the same, those with whom good exists, see 1259, 1260, 1416, 1849. Thus by 'in your seed all the nations of the earth will be blessed' is meant that from good and truth which come from the Lord all are saved who live in charity with one another, whether they are inside the Church or outside it. For gentile nations outside the Church who have good within them are as much among the saved as others who have it within them, see 593, 932, 1032, 1059, 1327, 1328, 2049, 2051, 2284, 2589-2604, 2861, 2986, 3263.
