AE 432 - Judah, Reuben, Gad; AE 433 - Isaiah 65:9

AE 432 [1]

Of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand sealed;
of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand sealed;
of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand sealed.
(Revelation 7:5)

"Of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand sealed,"
means love to the Lord,
and that all who are in that love are in heaven,
and come into heaven;
"of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand sealed,"
means the light of truth from that good,
and that all who are in that light
are in heaven and come into heaven;
"of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand sealed,"
means the consequent good of life.

AE 433 [21]

And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob,
and out of Judah an Inheritor of My mountains;
that My chosen may possess it,
and My servants dwell there.
(Isaiah 65:9)

Here "Jacob" and "Judah" do not mean
a people from Jacob and a nation from Judah,
but a church to be established by the Lord;
"Jacob" means the church that is in the good of life,
and "Judah" the church
that is the good of love to the Lord;
thus "Jacob" an external church,
and "Judah" an internal church.
"Seed" means charity and faith,
and "mountains" the goods of love.
Those who are in charity are called "chosen,"
and those who are in truths from the good of love
are called "servants,"
therefore it is said
"that My chosen may possess it,
and My servants dwell there."
