Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 8133

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

8133. 'They are enmeshed in the land' means that they are in a state of confusion so far as things of the Church are concerned. This is clear from the meaning of 'being enmeshed' as being entangled in, thus as being in a state of confusion, dealt with in 2831; and from the meaning of 'the land' as things of the Church. For the meaning of 'the land' as the Church, see 8011.
