AC 6435 - Mountains and Hills

AC 6435 [15]

The reason why "mountains" and "hills" meant
the goods of celestial and spiritual love,
was that they were prominent above the earth,
and by things prominent and high
were meant those which were of heaven,
and in the supreme sense which were of the Lord.
For the "land of Canaan"
meant the Lord's heavenly kingdom;
as a consequence all things in that land were meaningful,
the "mountains" and "hills"
being meaningful of such things as are high;
for when the most ancient people
who were of the celestial church
ascended a mountain
they thought of height, and from height, of what is holy,
because Jehovah or the Lord
was said to dwell "in the highest,"
and because in the spiritual sense
"height" denoted the good of love.
