359. [verse 8] 'Out of the tribe of Zebulon twelve thousand sealed' signifies the conjugial love of good and truth also with those who will belong to the New Heaven and the Lord's New Church. By 'Zebulon' in the highest sense is signified the Union of the Divine Itself and the Divine Human in the Lord, in the spiritual sense the marriage of good and truth with those who are in heaven and the Church, and in the natural sense conjugial love itself. Consequently by 'Zebulon' here is signified the conjugial love of good and truth, He was indeed named from cohabitation (Gen. xxx 19, 20); and cohabitation is said of married partners whose minds have been conjoined into one, for that conjunction is a spiritual cohabitation. The conjugial love of good and truth, which is here signified by 'Zebulon', is the conjugial love of the Lord and the Church. The Lord is the Good Itself of Love, and He grants that the Church may be the truth out of that good; and cohabitation comes about when the man of the Church receives good from the Lord in truths, whereupon with the man there is effected a marriage of good and truth, which is the Church itself, and he becomes a heaven, It is on this account that the kingdom of God, that is, heaven and the Church, is in the Word so many times compared to a marriage.
