4300. En de zon rees hem op; dat dit de verbinding van de goede dingen betekent, staat vast uit de betekenis van het verrijzen van de zon, namelijk de verbinding van de goede dingen; dat door het opgaan van de dageraad wordt aangeduid dat de verbinding nabij is of aanvangt, zie nr. 4283; hieruit volgt dat het verrijzen van de zon de verbinding zelf is; want de zon betekent in de innerlijke zin de hemelse liefde, nrs. 1529, 1530, 2441, 2495, 3636, 3643, 4060; dus de goede dingen, want deze zijn van die liefde; wanneer de hemelse liefde zich bij de mens openbaart, dat wil zeggen, wanneer zij wordt bemerkt, dan wordt er gezegd dat de zon hem verrijst, want dan worden de goede dingen van die liefde met hem verbonden.

In addition to the reasons already introduced there is the consideration that the inhabitants, spirits, and angels belonging to our planet correlate in the Grand Man with external or bodily perceiving, 9107, and external or bodily perceiving is the lowest level, in which more internal levels of life terminate and on which they rest as their general foundation, 5077, 9212, 9216. The same applies to God's truth in its literal form, which is called the Word; it has been provided for a like reason on this planet and not on another. Furthermore, since the Lord is the Word, since He is its first and last, His will was that He should be born and become the Word on this planet, in order that everything might take place in keeping with true order, according to the following words in John,
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory, glory as of the Only Begotten from the Father. Nobody has ever seen God; the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, He has made Him known. John 1:1-3, 14, 18.
'The Word' is Divine Truth. But this is an arcanum about which only few can have any understanding.
