AC 2252 - What if there are fifty? and AC 2253 - . . . insofar as

AC 2252 [4]
. . . wherever "fifty" is mentioned in the Word,
it signifies what is full . . .

AC 2253
With the Lord, when He was in the world,
there was no other life
than the life of love toward the universal human race,
which He ardently desired to eternally save.
This is the veriest celestial life,
by which He united Himself to the Divine,
and the Divine to Himself -
for Esse itself, or Jehovah, is nothing else than Mercy,
which is of love to the universal human race -
and that life was one of pure love,
which is never possible with any person.
They who do not know what life is,
and that the life is such as the love,
do not comprehend this.
This shows that
insofar as anyone loves his neighbor,
insofar he partakes of the Lord's life.
