Arcana Coelestia#2087
2087. 'As for Ishmael, I have heard you' means that people rational from truth are to be saved. This is clear from the representation of 'Ishmael' here as those people who are rational from truth, that is, who are spiritual, dealt with above in 2078. And that they are to be saved is clear from the meaning of 'hearing you', as may be seen without explanation.
Genesis第17章:11
11
You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin. It will be a token of the covenant between me and you.
