AC 7763 - Exodus 11; AC 7770 - Applications

AC 7763

The subject treated of in this chapter
in the internal sense
is the damnation of faith separate from charity,
which is signified by the firstborn of Egypt
that were given up to death at midnight;
and also the memory-knowledges of truth and good
that were to be transferred to those
who are of the spiritual church,
which knowledges are signified by
the vessels of silver and of gold
that the sons of Israel were to ask from the Egyptians.

AC 7770 [3]
. . . with the evil
the knowledges of good and truth
are applied to evil uses,
and with the good
the knowledges of good and truth
are applied to good uses;
the knowledges are the same,
but the application to uses
effects their quality with each person.
