2410. And he lingered. That this signifies opposition arising from the nature of evil, is evident from what was said above (n. 2406); for the evil which is in man continually reacts against the good which is from the Lord. Evil from what is hereditary and from what is actual adheres to man in each of His thoughts, nay, in the least things of his thoughts. This drags him downward (but the Lord, by...

2457. It is not necessary to explain these things in detail, because for the most part they have been explained in the preceding chapter, and also previously to that. They have been here added and inserted to the end that it might be evident that the good were separated from the evil, the former being saved while the latter were condemned, solely through the unition of the Lord's Divine Essence wi...

It is as when angels and spirits are speaking to a man; for then the ideas...

In order that they might be convinced of this, it was proposed to...

Sarah is here addressed as a wife, and a...

2584. And they brought forth. That this signifies fruitfulness, is evident from the signification of "bringing forth" and of "birth."
