Hardback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from Arcana Coelestia, Vol. 5: The Heavenly Arcana Contained in the Holy Scripture, or Word of the Lord, Unfolded in an Exposition of Genesis and Exodus; Genesis, Chapter XXVII. To Chapter XXXI., Nos; 3650-4228 Tion of desolation, signifies the vastation of the Church, which en sues when the Lord is no longer acknowledged, consequently when there is no love to and no faith in Him; also when there is no longer any charity towards the neighbour; and consequently when there is no faith of good and truth. When this is the case in the Church, or rather in the country where the Word is, that is, when this is the case in the thoughts of the heart, although not in the doctrine of the mouth, then there is deso lation, and the particulars just now mentioned are its abomina tion; hence, when ye shall see the abomination of desolation denotes, when any one observes such things what must be done 2 then, is told afterwards in verses 16 - 18. Spoken of by Daniel the prophet, signifies, in the internal sense, by the prophets; for where any prophet is mentioned by his name in the Word, it is not the prophet himself that is meant, but the prophetic Word itself, because names in no case penetrate into heaven (nos. 187 6, nevertheless the same thing is not signified by one prophet as by another. What is signified by Moses, Elias, and Elisha, may be seen in the preface to chapter xviii., and no. 2762; but by Daniel is signified everything prophetical con cerning the Lord's coming, and concerning the state of the Church, in the present case concerning its last state. Vastation is much treated of in the prophets, and by it in those books in the sense of the letter is signified the vastation of the Jewish and Israelitish Church, but in the internal sense the vastation of the Church in general, thus also the vastation which is now at 3 hand. Standing in the holy place, signifies vastation as to all things which belong to good and truth; the holy place denotes a state of love and faith. That a place in the internal sense denotes a state, see nos. 2625, 2837, 3356, 3387. The Holy of that state is the good which belongs to love, and thence the truth which belongs to faith: nothing else is meant in the Word by what is holy, because those things are from the Lord, who is the Holy itself or the sanctuary. Let him who readeth observe, signifies that these things ought to be well noted by those who are in the Church, especially by those who are in 4 love and faith, who come now to be treated of. Then let those who are in Judcea flee unto the mountains, signifies that they who are of the Church must not look elsewhere than to the Lord, thus to love to Him, and to charity towards the neigh bour. That by J udaea is signified the Church, will be shown below: that by a mountain is signified the Lord Hiroself, but by mountains love to Him, and charity towards the neighbour, see nos. 795, 796, 1430, 2722. According to the sense of the letter the meaning would be, that when Jerusalem was besieged, as was done by the Romans, then they should not betake them selves thither, but to the mountains, according to these words in Luke, When ye shall see Jerusalem encompassed about by.
