AC 3298 - "Twins Being in Her Womb"; AC 3305 - "Jacob" and "Israel"

AC 3298 

As to both the good and the truth of the natural
being conceived together, the case is this:
Whatever is born derives its being from a father
and its manifestation from a mother;
it must have both in order to become something.
The natural as to good is conceived
from the good of the rational as a father,
and as to truth is conceived
from the truth of the rational as a mother.
It is good which gives life,
but through truth.
Both these are called soul,
but still good is principally the soul,
while truth clothes it
as with a kind of tender vessel or body,
so that the good is in the truth.
This is what is signified by "twins being in her womb."

AC 3305 [7]

In the supreme sense of all these passages
by "Jacob" and "Israel" is meant the Lord;
and in the representative sense
the Lord's spiritual kingdom, and the church
which is a church from the doctrine of truth
and the life of good.
By "Jacob" are meant those
who are in the externals of this church;
and by "Israel" those who are in its internals.
