10001. 'You shall bring to the door of the tent of meeting' means the joining together of the two, in heaven. This is clear from the meaning of 'bringing' as presence and togetherness, as above in 9997, at this point the joining together of Divine Good and Divine Truth from the Lord, in heaven; from the meaning of 'the door' as introduction, dealt with in 8989; and from the representation of 'the tent of meeting' as heaven, dealt with in 9457, 9481, 9485, 9963. The reason why the young bull and the rams, the unleavened bread, cakes, and wafers in the basket, and Aaron together with his sons were presented at the door of the tent of meeting, and why the latter were then clothed with the garments and anointed there, and the former were offered on the altar there, was that the place where the door of the tent of meeting was, represented the marriage of Divine Good to Divine Truth. For the altar, which also was positioned before the door of the tent, represented the Lord in respect of Divine Good, while the tent of meeting represented the Lord in respect of Divine Truth. Consequently the place before the door of the tent represented the joining together of goodness and truth, a joining together that is called the heavenly marriage. Regarding the altar of burnt offering, that it represented the Lord in respect of Divine Good, see 9964; and regarding the tent of meeting, that it represented the Lord in respect of Divine Truth, 9963. The fact that the altar was positioned there is clear in Moses,

And Moses placed the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tent. Exodus 40:29.

As for the joining together of goodness and truth, that this is the heavenly marriage, and that in that marriage heaven consists, see 2173, 2508, 2618, 2803, 3004 and following paragraphs, 3132, 952, 4434, 6179. From all this it is now evident that bringing Aaron and his sons to the door of the tent of meeting means the joining together of the two, that is to say, of Divine Good and Divine Truth from the Lord, in heaven.

3004. Very deep arcana lie concealed within the internal sense, which up to now have not come to anyone's knowledge. This becomes clear from what has been stated and shown up to this point, and from what will be shown in the Lord's Divine Mercy in what follows. It becomes absolutely clear from the internal sense of our Lord's two names JESUS CHRIST. When these are mentioned few have any other notion than that they are proper names which are little different from, though more sacred than, the names of any other human being. Better educated people know, it is true, that Jesus means Saviour, and Christ the Anointed, from which they conceive some more interior notion. But this is not the same as the things which the angels in heaven perceive from those names. They perceive things more Divine still, that is to say, when Jesus is mentioned by someone reading the Word they perceive Divine Good, and when Christ is mentioned, Divine Truth. And when both are mentioned together they perceive the Divine marriage of good to truth, and of truth to good. Thus they perceive everything Divine within the heavenly marriage, which is heaven. What the heavenly marriage is, see 2173, 2803.
