22. XXII

The Word.

It is important for a person to understand the Word literally in very many passages. For example, what the Lord says about cities, successive states of the church; in many passages of the Prophets, as about Tyre; in the Book of Revelation about paradise. The reason is that the angels with the person follow the spiritual sense.
