60. Verse 31 And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning, a sixth day.

This verse says 'very good', whereas previous verses merely said 'good', for now the things of faith make one with those of love. A marriage has accordingly taken place between spiritual and celestial things.

10148. 'And there I will meet with the children of Israel' means the Lord's presence in the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'meeting with' as presence, as immediately above in 10147; and from the representation of 'the children of Israel' as the Church, dealt with in 9340.
