AE 405d [24]
Jesus during the days was teaching in the temple;
but at night He went out and lodged in the mount
that is called the Mount of Olives.
(Luke 21:37; 22:39; John 8:1)
. . . He did all things from the Divine love,
for "the Mount of Olives" signified that love;
for whatever the Lord did in the world was representative,
and whatever He spoke was significative.
The Lord when in the world was in representatives and significatives,
in order that He might be in the ultimates of heaven and the church . . ..
AE 405e [33]
If any man have a hundred sheep,
and one of them be gone astray,
will he not leave the ninety and nine in the mountains,
and going seek that which is gone astray?
(Matthew 18:12).
It is said, "will he not leave the ninety and nine in the mountains?"
for "sheep in the mountains"
signify those who are in the good of love and charity;
but "the one that is gone astray"
signifies one who is not in that good,
because he is in falsities from ignorance;
for where falsity is,
there good is not,
because good is of truth.
