Nga Jonathan S. Rose

Topic: The Word
Summary: The Old Testament commands us not to charge interest on loans, but a couple of parables in the New Testament chide us for NOT, at the very least, putting our money in the bank and getting interest? What is going on?

Arcana Coelestia #1067
1067. Vers. 20. 1 Et coepit Noah vir humi, et plantavit vineam. ‘Coepit Noah vir humi’ significat in genere hominem ex doctrinalibus fidei instructum: ‘et plantavit vineam’ significat inde Ecclesiam; ‘vinea’ est Ecclesia spiritualis.
Fusnotat:
1. Schmidius has Noachus autem esse coepit vir terram colens, Swedenborg renders the Hebrew exactly.
