SS 17 - the Lord's miracles

SS 17 [4]
. . . the Lord's miracles, which were Divine
because they signified the various states of those
with whom the church was to be set up anew by the Lord.
Thus when the blind received sight,
it signified that they who had been in ignorance of truth
should receive intelligence;
when the deaf received hearing,
it signified that they who had previously heard nothing
about the Lord and the Word should hearken and obey;
when the dead were raised,
it signified that they who otherwise would spiritually perish
would become living;
and so on.

Moreover, all the miracles related in the Word
contain in them such things as belong to the Lord,
to heaven, and to the church.
This makes these miracles Divine,
and distinguishes them from those which are not Divine.
