WH 12 - The Word is written by correspondences, and thus by representatives.

WH 12
The Word as to the sense of the letter is written by mere correspondences,
that is, by such things as represent and signify
the spiritual things of heaven and the church.
(AC 1404, 1408, 1409, 1540, 1619, 1659, 1709, 1783, 2179, 2763, 2899)

This was done for the sake of the internal sense,
which is there in every part.
(AC 2899)

Consequently for the sake of heaven,
since those who are in heaven
do not understand the Word according to the sense of its letter,
which is natural,
but according to the internal sense,
which is spiritual.
(AC 2899)

The Lord spoke by
correspondences, representatives, and significatives,
because He spoke from the Divine.
(AC 9049, 9063, 9086, 10126, 10728)

The Lord thus spoke before the world,
and at the same time before heaven.
(AC 2533, 4807, 9049, 9063, 9086)
