Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 8097

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

8097. 'And may return to Egypt' means a consequent relapse into falsities which are entirely opposed to the truths and forms of the good of faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'Egypt' as things opposed to the truths and forms of the good of faith, 6692, 7039, 7097, 7317, 7766, 7926. The fact that returning to that place means relapsing into falsities is self-evident.
