Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 9727

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

9727. 'From bronze' means that this too must be formed from good. This is clear from the meaning of 'bronze' as external or natural good, dealt with in 425, 1551. Since 'the grating, the network' around the altar means the sensory perception belonging to the Lord's Divine Human, 9726 (end), the good that is meant here is the Divine Good of His Divine Love. Everything belonging to the Lord's Divine Human is formed from that Good.
