Ezekiel 16:8

Studie

       

8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yes, I swore to thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.

5565. There are spirits too who correlate with the bones that are much harder, such as the teeth; but I have not been allowed to know very much about these. All I have been allowed to know is that when these spirits, with whom scarcely any spiritual life at all remains, are brought into view in the light of heaven, they do not appear to possess a face, only teeth instead of a face. This is because the face represents a person's interiors, thus his spiritual and celestial endowments, which are matters of faith and charity. Spirits therefore who during their lifetime did not acquire any such spiritual life have the kind of appearance that has just been described.
