Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 9768

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

9768. 'All the pillars of the court round about' means every form of good supporting heaven. This is clear from the meaning of 'all the pillars round about' as every form of good providing support (for the meaning of 'pillars' as forms of good providing support, see 9747, 9757); and from the meaning of 'the court' as the lowest heaven, dealt with in 9741.
