AE 331 - nations & peoples

AE 331 [9]
All peoples, nations, and tongues shall worship Him;
His dominion is an everlasting dominion,
which shall not pass away,
and His kingdom that which shall not perish.
(Daniel 7:14)

This is said of the Lord;
and "peoples" and "nations" mean all who are in truths and goods;
and "all tongues" mean all of whatever doctrine or religion;
for the Lord's church is universal,
since it exists with all who are in the good of life,
and who from their doctrine look to heaven,
and thereby conjoin themselves to the Lord.
Because "nations" signify those who are in the good of love,
and "peoples" whose who are in the good of charity
and in the truths of faith therefrom,
it is said, "His dominion is an everlasting dominion,
and His kingdom shall not pass away;"
"dominion" in the Word is predicated of good,
and "kingdom" of truth;
for this reason the Lord is call "Lord" from Divine good,
and "King" from Divine truth.
