Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 6799

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

6799. 'That the king of Egypt died' means the end of the falsity that had reigned previously. This is clear from the meaning of 'dying' as ceasing to exist, dealt with in 494, 6587, 6593, thus the end; and from the representation of Pharaoh or 'the king of Egypt' as false factual knowledge, dealt with in 6651, 6679, 6683, 6692.
