8830. 'Go down, warn the people so that they do not perhaps break through to Jehovah to see [Him]' means that those belonging to the spiritual Church should not desire to go up to the heaven where the Divine celestial is. This is clear from the meaning of 'warning' as admonition; from the representation of the children of Israel, to whom 'the people' refers here, as those belonging to the spiritual Church, dealt with often; from the meaning of 'breaking through' - breaking through the bounds - as desiring to go up to a higher heaven; and from the meaning of 'to see Jehovah' as in order to perceive the Divine. For by 'Jehovah' on the top of the mountain is meant the Divine in the inmost heaven, called the celestial heaven, 8827, and by 'seeing' is meant perception, 2150, 3764, 4567, 4723, 5400.
