Og HE
EN svarede sit Folk: Se, jeg sender eder korn, Most og Olie, så I kan mættes deraf; og jeg vil ikke længer gøre eder til Skændsel iblandt Hedningerne.

A Brief Exposition of New Church Doctrine #77
77. XVIII. That neither Love, nor Faith, nor the Cognitions of Good and Truth, exist in the last period of the Christian Church when it draws to its end, is meant by these words in the aforesaid chapter of Matthew:
After the tribulation of those days, shall the sun be darkened and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. Matthew 24:29.
Save
Many translations of the Bible often use the word "save" in a secondary way, as a synonym for "except." In those cases its meaning is clear. To be saved or rescued means getting true ideas that we can hold to even in the face of a storm of false thinking. Sometimes these can be profound and simple truths like "the Lord loves me and wants the best for me," the golden rule or the 10 Commandments. And if we pray to the Lord asking sincerely for His help, He will put in our minds ideas that can help us.
