AC 7873 - "Gods"; AC 7902 - Eating of the Paschal Lamb and Unleavened Things

AC 7873

In the Word "gods" are often mentioned.
When the angels are so called, truths are signified;
hence in the opposite sense by "the gods of the nations,"
are signified falsities.
That truths are called "gods"
is because truth proceeds from the Divine Itself,
and in itself is Divine;
consequently they who receive it are called "gods"
-- not that they are gods,
but that the truth which is with them is Divine.
Hence it is that in the original tongue
God is called "Elohim," in the plural.
The Divine Itself is the Divine good,
but that which proceeds from it is the Divine truth,
which fills the universal heaven.
As then "god" denotes truth,
therefore in the opposite sense it denotes falsity.

AC 7902

Innocence consists in acknowledging
that in oneself there is nothing but evil,
and that all good is from the Lord;
and also in believing that man does not know or perceive
anything from himself, but from the Lord,
thus also the truth which is of faith.
When man is in this state,
then falsity can be removed from him,
and truth can be instilled by the Lord.
This state is what is signified by the unleavened things,
and also by the eating of the paschal lamb.
