Arcana Coelestia # 5320
5320. 'And placed a chain of gold onto his neck' means an outward sign denoting the joining of interior things to exterior ones, good being that which effects that joining together. This is clear from the meaning of 'the neck' as a flowing in, also the communication of higher things with lower ones, or what amounts to the same, interior things with exterior ones, dealt with in 3542; and therefore 'a chain', because it goes around the neck, is a sign denoting the joining together of those things. 'A chain of gold' means a joining together by means of good; that is, good is the means which effects it, because 'gold' means good, 113, 1551, 1552. A sign denoting the joining of interior truth to exterior truth is meant by 'a chain onto the neck' in Ezekiel,
I adorned you with ornaments and put bracelets onto your hands and a chain onto your neck. Ezekiel 16:11.
Matthew 25:29
29
For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who doesn't have, even that which he has will be taken away.
