Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 3572

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

3572. 'Isaac his father said to him, Come near now' means a degree of perception more interior still. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying that he should draw near' as a degree of more interior perception resulting from presence. 'Drawing near' does not describe anything else.
