22
And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.
Exodus 25:22
Arcana Coelestia #9478
9478. Verses 8-9. And let them make for Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in the midst of them. According to all that I show thee, the form of the Habitation, and the form of all the vessels thereof, even so shall ye make it. “And let them make for Me a sanctuary,” signifies a representative of the Lord, and thus of heaven; “that I may dwell in the midst of them,” signifies the consequent presence of the Lord in the representative church; “according to all that I show thee, the form of the Habitation,” signifies a representative of heaven where the Lord is; “and the form of all the vessels thereof,” signifies a representative of all the celestial and spiritual things that are from Him; “even so shall ye make it,” signifies a sure and genuine representative.
