Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 5257

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

5257. 'God will give you an answer of peace, O Pharaoh' means that the Divine Human was the origin of it, through its being joined to it. This becomes clear from what has been stated immediately above in 5156, and from the meaning of 'peace of which God will give an answer' as the Lord's Divine Human as the origin of it. 'God', as is clear without explanation, means the Divine; while 'peace' in the highest sense means the Lord, see 3780, 4681. The reason it is the origin through its being joined to it - to the celestial of the spiritual, and through this to the natural - is that this joining together is the subject here.
