Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 9679

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

9679. 'And you shall bring the ark of the Testimony in there, within the veil' means the coming-into-being of the inmost heaven within that uniting intermediary. This is clear from the meaning of 'the veil' as the intermediary uniting the two heavens, dealt with in 9670, 9671; and from the meaning of 'the ark of the Testimony' as the inmost heaven, dealt with in 9485; its coming-into-being is meant by 'bringing the ark in there'.
