AE 329e [16]
One of the soldiers pierced His side, and straightway there came out blood and water. And he that saw bore witness, and his witness is true; he knows that he said true things, that you also may believe. (John 19:34, 35)
These things were done to signify the Lord's conjunction with the human race through Divine truth proceeding from the Divine good of His love;
"breast" signifies Divine love;
"blood and water" signify Divine truth proceeding,
"blood" the Divine truth that is for the spiritual man,
and "water" the Divine truth that is for the natural man;
for all things that are related in the Word respecting the Lord's passion...signify His love, and man's salvation by means of Divine truth proceeding from Him....
