AC 6750 - The First Plane; AC 6752 - Moses and Elias

AC 6750

. . . memory-knowledges are what those
who are being regenerated must first learn,
because they are a plane
for the things of the understanding,
and the understanding is the recipient of the truth of faith,
and the truth of faith is the recipient of the good of charity.
Hence it can be seen that memory-knowledge
is the first plane when man is being regenerated.

That memory-knowledge was also the first plane
with the Lord when He made His Human Divine truth,
or the Divine law, is signified by the Lord,
when an infant, being brought into Egypt
(Matthew 2:13, 14),
as follows in the prophetic utterance in Hosea:
 "Out of Egypt have I called My Son."
(Hosea 11:1; Matthew 2:15).
That by "Egypt" are signified memory-knowledges,
has been often shown;
but by memory-knowledges are not meant
those of philosophy, but those of the church.

AC 6752

Two men especially represent the Lord as to the Word,
namely, Moses and Elias;
Moses as to the historic books,
Elias as to the prophetic.
There are besides, Elisha, and lastly John the Baptist,
wherefore this is he who is meant by
"Elias who was to come" (Matthew 17:10-13; Luke 1:17).
But before it can be shown
that Moses represents the law Divine,
what this is must be told.
The law Divine in a wide sense signifies the whole Word;
in a sense less extended the historic Word;
in a close sense, what was written through Moses;
and in the closest sense, the ten commandments
written on the tables of stone upon Mount Sinai.
Moses represents the law in the less wide sense,
also in the close, and likewise in the closest sense.

Elias is the Latin and Greek equivalent
of Elijah (Hebrew Eliyahu),
a prophet in Israel in the 9th century BCE.)
