Sweet

  

In Genesis 8:21, this signifies that worship from charity and the faith of charity pleased the Lord. (Arcana Coelestia 924-925)

In Exodus 15:25, this signifies that truths became enjoyable. (Arcana Coelestia 8356)

'Sweet' signifies delightful things from the good of truth and the truth of good. Everything sweet in the natural world corresponds to delightful and pleasant things in the spiritual world.

Commentaar

 

Right hand, man of the

  

'The man of the right hand,' as in Psalm 80:17, signifies the Lord with respect to the Word. He is called 'the man of the right hand,' because the Lord has power by divine truth, which is the Word. He had the divine power itself when He fulfilled the whole Word. So He also said that, 'they should see the soul of a person sitting in power, on the right hand of the Father!'
