Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 6572

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

6572. 'God thought [to turn] it into good' means that the Divine turns it into good. This is clear from the meaning of 'thinking into good' as intending, dealt with immediately above in 6571; but because the expression is used with reference to God, actually turning something into good is meant. For what God intends, that He does.
