1210. That 'Gaza' means things that have been revealed concerning charity becomes clear first of all from the fact that in the Word when spiritual things are dealt with, so also are celestial along with them, that is, when matters of faith are dealt with, so also are those of charity; and secondly from the Word where Gaza is mentioned. It becomes clear in addition from the fact that cognitions extend to faith and right on to charity, which is their furthest limit.
