10
Thus were the visions of my head upon my bed: I saw, and, behold, a tree in the midst of the earth; and the height thereof was great.
Daniel 4:10
Arcana Coelestia #1309
1309. 'Lest perhaps we are scattered over the face 1 of the whole earth' means that otherwise they would not receive recognition. This follows from what is said above, for 'being scattered over the face 1 of the whole earth' is disappearing from their sight, and so not being accepted and acknowledged.
Imibhalo yaphansi:
1. literally, the faces
