Explanation of Leviticus 23:39

Door Henry MacLagan

Verse 39. And therefore in this final new state of the fullness of faith conjoined with charity, when these are made fruitful in good works there is gladness and joy of heart in all completeness and holiness, with states of peace and rest from the lowest principles to the highest which are perpetually renewed.

5050. CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE GRAND MAN - continued

IN THIS SECTION THE CORRESPONDENCE OF THE LOINS AND THE ORGANS OF GENERATION WITH IT

Who exactly in the Grand Man or heaven belong to the province of the hands, the arms, and the feet has been shown from experience at the end of the previous chapter, in 4931-4953. Now this present section must state which particular communities in heaven or the Grand Man are the ones to which the loins, also the parts associated with the loins called the generative organs, correspond. In general it should be recognized that the loins and associated organs correspond to genuine conjugial love and consequently to those communities where angels live who possess that love. The inhabitants of those communities are the most heavenly ones and in their lives they enjoy greater peace and delight than any others do.
