AC 8891 - the first chapter in Genesis - a review

AC 8891 [3]
When the first chapter of Genesis is read,
the angels do not perceive any other creation
than the new creation of a person,
which is called regeneration.
This regeneration is described in that history;
by paradise the wisdom of the person
who has been created anew;
by the two trees in the midst thereof,
the two faculties of that person,
namely, the will of good by the tree of life,
and the understanding of truth by the tree of knowledge.
And that it was forbidden to eat of this latter tree,
was because the person who is regenerated,
or created anew,
must no longer be led by the understanding of truth,
but by the will of good,
and if otherwise, the new life within him perishes.
Consequently by Adam, or man, and by Eve his wife,
was there meant a new church,
and by the eating of the tree of knowledge,
the fall of that church from good to truth,
consequently from love to the Lord and toward the neighbor
to faith without these loves,
and this by reasoning from their own intellectual,
which reasoning is the serpent.
