AC 1248, 1250 - "The Mountain of the East"

AC 1248

And their dwelling was from Mesha,
as you come towards Sephar,
the mountain of the east.
(Genesis 10:30)

These words mean the spread of the worship,
even from the truths of faith
to the good that stems from charity;
'Mesha' means truth,
'Sephar' good,
and 'the mountain of the east' charity.

AC 1250

That 'the mountain of the east' means charity,
indeed charity from the Lord,
is clear from the meaning of 'a mountain' in the Word
as love to the Lord
and charity towards the neighbor . . ..
And that 'the east' means the Lord,
and consequently
the celestial things of love and charity . . ..
