AE 304g - "land" signifies the interior or spiritual things of the church

AE 304g [59]
If you will keep the commandments,
Jehovah will lead you into a good land,
into a land of brooks and waters, of fountains,
of depths coming forth out of valley and mountain;
a land of wheat, of barley,
of vine, of fig, of pomegranate;
a land of the olive, of oil, of honey;
a land where you shall eat bread without scarceness;
it shall lack nothing;
a land where the stones are iron
and out of the mountains is dug copper;
and you shall eat,
and shall be satisfied in this good land.
And when you have eaten and are full
then you shall bless the Lord your God
for the good land he has given you. (Deuteronomy 8:6-10)

This is a description of all things of the church, both its interiors and its exteriors....

AE 304e - "Blessed are the meek"

AE 304e [44]
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." (Matthew 5:5)
"Inheriting the earth" signifies not possession of the earth,
but possession of heaven and blessedness there;
the "meek" mean those who are in the good of charity.

AE 304a - what the spiritual world looks like

AE 304a [2]
In the spiritual world, where the spirits and angels are, it is just as it is in the natural world where men are, that is, there are lands, hills, and mountains; and in appearance the resemblance is such that there is no difference at all; therefore men after death scarcely know otherwise than that they are still living on the earth, and when the privilege is granted them to look into our world, they see nothing dissimilar.

AE 299 - only the Lord knows

AE 299 [2]
... the Lord only, and no one but the Lord, knows the states of life of all in general and of each one in particular.

AE 296 - Does the Lord judge?

AE 296
The Father does not judge any one,
but has given all judgment unto the Son;
because He is the Son of man. (John 5:22,27)

"Father" means the Lord in respect to Divine good;
"the Son of man," the Lord in respect to Divine truth.
Divine good "does not judge any one," because it explores no one;
but Divine truth judges, for it explores every one.
Yet it should be known, that neither does the Lord Himself judge any one from the Divine truth that proceeds from Him, for this is so united to Divine good that they are one; but man judges himself; for it is the Divine truth received by himself that judges him; but because the appearance is that the Lord judges, therefore it is said in the Word that all are judged by the Lord.

AE 295c - the Divine love

AE 295c [12]
... the Divine love wills nothing else than that love from itself may be with angels and men, and His love is with them when they love to live according to His commandments.

AE 293 - power

AE 293
Saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive the glory, and the honor, and the power
(Revelation 4:11)
"Power" here signifies salvation because all Divine power looks to salvation as an end; for by Divine power man is reformed, and afterwards introduced into heaven, and there withheld from evil and falsity and held in good and truth; and this only the Lord can effect.

AE 283b - four & six

AE 283b [3]
There were "four cherubim," and "each had six wings,"
because "four" signifies celestial good,
and "six" spiritual good;
for "four" signifies conjunction,
and inmost conjunction with the Lord is through love to Him;
but "six" signifies communication,
and communication with the Lord is by means of charity towards the neighbor.

AE 281a & 281b - "eagle"

AE 281a
And the fourth animal was like a flying eagle,
signifies the appearance in ultimates of the Divine guard and providence in respect to intelligence and as to circumspection on every side. This is evident from the signification of "eagle," as being intelligence; here Divine intelligence which is that of the Lord's guard and providence. "Eagle" means intelligence because intelligence is in the light of heaven, and the eagle flies high that he may be there and look about on every side.... "Eagle signifies
intelligence for this reason also, that the "birds of heaven" signify in a good sense things intellectual and ration, and the eagle especially, because it not only flies high but also has keen vision.

AE 281b [3]
They that wait upon Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles. (Isaiah 40:31)
"To mount up with wings as eagles" is ascent into the light of heaven, thus into intelligence.

AE 280a - "man"

AE 280a
"Man" signifies both the affection of truth and wisdom, because the affection of truth and wisdom act as one; for he who is in the spiritual affection of truth, that is, who is affected by truth, or who loves truth because it is truth, is conjoined to the Lord.... Some suppose that man is a man by reason of his face and body, and that by these he is distinguished from beasts, but they are in an error; man is a man by reason of his wisdom, consequently so far as any one is wise so far is he a man.

AE 278b - the Lord guards & provides

AE 278b
Since it is the Lord who guards and provides,
and this through Divine truth and Divine good,
thus through His Divine wisdom and intelligence,
four animals were seen,
which were like a lion, a calf, a man, and an eagle;
for thus by "lion" Divine truth in respect to power was represented,
by "calf" Divine good in respect to protection,
by "man" the Divine wisdom,
and by "eagle" the Divine intelligence...

And in the midst of the throne and around the throne were four animals, full of eyes beforeand behind. And the first animal was like a lion, and the second animal like a calf, and the third animal had a face like a man, and the fourth animal was like a flying eagle. Rev. 4:6-7

AE 273 - And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunders and voices.

AE 273
And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunders and voices (Rev. 4:5),
signifies illustration, understanding, and the perception of the Divine truth in the heavens from the Lord....

From this it is that "lightning" signifies Divine truth in respect to illustration;
"thunder" Divine truth in respect to understanding;
and "voices" Divine truth in respect to perception.
It is said in respect to the understanding and in respect to the perception,
since what enters into the mind through the hearing is both seen and perceived;
seen in the understanding,
and perceived through communication with the will.

AE 270 - the neighbor

AE 270 [2]
...in the natural sense "neighbor" means any man whatever; but in the spiritual sense the good, truth, sincerity, and justice itself that are in the person. Every one who reflects can see that this is the neighbor in the spiritual sense; for who loves a person for any other reason? For good and truth make the man, and cause him to be loved, and not the countenance and body.

AE 261 - "the voice of Jehovah"

AE 261
And the first voice that I heard,
signifies revelation now of things to come.
This is evident from the signification of "voice", as being whatever proceeds from the Lord and is perceived by angels and by men....
"The voice of Jehovah" in the Word signifies the Divine proceeding from Divine truth, from which is all intelligence and wisdom.

AE 256 - love makes heaven

AE 256 ... love makes, heaven, and because it makes heaven it also makes the church; for all the societies of heaven, and they are innumerable, as well as all within each society, are arranged according to the affections of love; so that it is affection or love according to which all things are arranged in the heavens, and not one person has his place according to faith. Spiritual affection or love is charity; it is evident, therefore, that no one can ever enter heaven if he is not in charity.

AE 254 - His example

AE 254 [2]
... the Lord's life in the world was an example according to which the men of the church are to live, as the Lord Himself teaches in John:

"I have been unto you an example that you also should do as I have done to you. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them." (John 8: 15, 17)

AE 249 - If any one hear My voice

AE 249
If any one hear My voice,
signifies if one attends to the Lord's precepts.
This is evident from the signification of "to hear," as being to attend, that is, to observe with attention, and to hearken or obey; for the things that enter by the hearing are not only seen by the understanding, but also if they are in accord with man's affection, are obeyed ...
...those who wish to know truths, and to study them from the Word, are such as are in the spiritual affection of truth; these love truth because it is truth; and those are in that affection who wish to live according to truths from the Word, thus according to the Lord's commandments. Such are meant by "If any one hear My voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me."

AE 248 - Behold I stand at the door and knock

AE 248
Behold I stand at the door and knock,
signifies the perpetual presence of the Lord.

[2] There are two things that are in man's freedom by reason of the perpetual presence of the Lord, and His perpetual desire to conjoin Himself with man. The first thing ... is that he has the means and faculty to think well about the Lord and the neighbor; for everyone is able to think well or ill about the Lord and the neighbor; if he thinks well the door is opened, if ill it is shut.... The other thing ... is man's ability of abstain from evils; and so far as he does abstain the Lord opens the door and enters; for the Lord is unable to open and enter so long as evils are in man's thought and will, since these block the way and close it up. Moreover, it has been granted to man by the Lord to know the evils of the thought and will, as also the truths by which evils are dispersed; for the Word is given wherein these things are disclosed.

AE 242a - the circle of man's life

AE 242a [4]
...the circle of man's life is to know, to understand, to will, and to do;
for man's spiritual life begins with knowing,
passes next to understanding,
then to willing,
and finally to doing.
From this it is clear that so long as knowledges are in the memory
they are merely in the entrance to the life,
and that they are not fully in man until they are in acts,
and the more fully they are in acts
the more fully they are in the understanding and will.

AE 240a - understanding & willing truth & good

AE 240a [2]
There is the understanding of truth, and the understanding of good; the understanding of truth is the understanding of such things as are of faith, and the understanding of good is the understanding of such things as are of love and charity. There is also the will of truth and the will of good; the will of truth is with those who are of the Lord's spiritual kingdom; but the will of good with those who are of His celestial kingdom. The latter, because they are in love to the Lord, and from this in mutual love, which is to them charity towards the neighbor, have truths inscribed on their hearts, and thence do them; and what proceeds out of the heart is out of the will of good, "heart" meaning the will of good. But those who are in love towards the neighbor, which love is charity, have truths inscribed not on their hearts but on the memory, and therefore on the intellectual mind, and what proceeds therefrom out of the affection is the will of truth. Thus it is that spiritual angels are distinguished from celestial angels. The latter appear naked in heaven, but the former clothed. Celestial angels appear naked because they have no need of the memory to retain truths, nor of the understanding therefrom to comprehend them, because they have them inscribed on the heart, that is, on the love and will, and these see them. But the spiritual angels appear clothed because they have truths inscribed on the memory and thence on the understanding, and truths of the memory and of the understanding therefrom correspond to garments; and therefore all appear clothed according to their intelligence.

AE 239a - reception

AE 239a [4]
...there ought to be reception [of the Lord] on man's part, and that reception is not possible unless man gives heed to his thoughts and intentions, and thence to his deeds; and then refrains from evils and does good, which is done when he has regard for the truths that he knows from the Word, and lives according to them.

AE 236b - "possessions", "the rich", and "the poor"

AE 236b [8]
In Luke:
Whosoever he be of you that renounces not all his possessions, he cannot be My disciple." (Luke 14:33)

"Possession" here mean all things that are from self-intelligence, for no one can be wise from himself, but only from the Lord;
"to renounce all possessions" is to attribute nothing of intelligence and wisdom to oneself, and he who does not do this cannot be instructed by the Lord, that is, cannot be His disciple.
[9] ..."the rich" mean those who possess the knowledges of truth and good, thus who have the Word,
and "the poor" mean those who do not possess knowledges, but yet long for them....

AE 233 & 235 - salvation

AE 233 [2]
...those who in the course of their life look only to self and the world join themselves to the hells, for all who are in the hells make good and evil of no account.

AE 235 [2]
What men must do in order to be saved is said a thousand times in each Testament, also that hearing and knowing are nothing without doing.

AE 227 - the Word is written in correspondences

AE 227
... all things in the Word, are written by correspondences, to the end that by means of these there may be conjunction of heaven with the church. Conjunction is effected by means of correspondences; for heaven, or the angels in heaven, understand spiritually all those things that man understands naturally, and between natural and spiritual things there is a perpetual correspondence, and by means of correspondences there is conjunction like that between soul and body. On this account the Word is written in the style that it is; otherwise there would be no soul within it, consequently not heaven within it; and if heaven were not in it, the Divine would not be in it.

AE 223 - the New Jerusalem

AE 224
...those who will be in the New Jerusalem are all who will acknowledge the Lord's Divine Human.

It is therefore also said at the end of The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem:--

That there is a trine in the Lord, namely, the Divine Itself, the Divine Human, and the proceeding Divine, is an arcanum from heaven, and is for those who will be in the Holly Jerusalem. (n. 297)

AE 222a - "To write upon one"

AE 222a [2]
"To write upon one" means to implant in the life, because to write is to commit to paper anything from the memory, thought, or mind, that is to be preserved; in the spiritual sense, therefore, it signifies that which is to endure in man's life, inscribed on it and implanted in it. Thus the natural sense of the expression is turned into a spiritual sense; for it is natural to write upon paper and in a book, but it is spiritual to inscribe on the life, which is done when anything is implanted in the faith and love, since love and faith make man's spiritual life.

AE 213 - loving the Lord

AE 213
"To be loved," in reference to the Lord, means that He is present, because love (dilectio seu amor) causes conjunction and consequent presence, and to him who loves, the Lord enters in, and teaches and leads him, and enables him also to love Him, that is, to do His commandments and precepts, for this is to love the Lord. ... as He Himself teaches in John:

He that has My commandments, and does them, he it is that loves Me; and he that loves Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him. (John 14:21, 23)

AE 208b - truths from good

AE 208b [13]
... those who are in truths and this not from good, are perpetually in a servile state, because they are not in the spiritual affection of truth; and yet it is the affection which is of love that makes men free.

AE 204a - to love another

AE 204a [2]
...to love men for the sake of what is true, sincere, and just in them is spiritual love; for what is true, sincere, and just are spiritual things, because they are out of heaven from the Lord.
