AC 2643 - Who would have said unto Abraham, Sarah shall suckle sons? (Genesis 21:7)

AC 2643
That these things signify in the internal sense
that the Lord implanted the Human in the Divine by His own power,
is because the Divine truth is the same as the Divine Human....
But these things can with difficulty be explained more clearly to the understanding.
If many words be used,
the sense will become still more obscure;
for these are Divine things,
which can only be presented before angels by things celestial and spiritual;
and if they were presented before man in any more elevated style,
they would fall into the material and corporeal ideas which man has.
