Arcana Coelestia (Potts) n. 4078

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

4078. And God hath not suffered him to do evil with me. That this signifies that still it could not hinder, is evident from the signification of "not suffering to do evil," when predicated of the Lord, as being not to be able to hinder. For nothing can do evil to the Divine, but its influx can be hindered. All evil does this; and from this it is manifest what is here signified by "doing evil."
