What to do at the edge of the sea, spiritually (Exodus 14:13-15; Joshua 1:9; Arcana Coelestia 8184, 10416) The meaning of 'dividing that sea' is dispersing the falsities arising from evil that are present in hell; for the falsities there are seen as waters. When the pillar of angels in which the Lord is present passes through that hell the falsities depart, and as a consequence the waters there, which are the falsities, are parted asunder. From this it is evident that 'dividing the sea' means dispersing the falsities belonging to the hell that is represented by 'the Sea Suph' (the Red Sea). (Heavenly Secrets #8184) The desire to celebrate resides inwardly in a person's feeling of freedom, and all feeling of freedom comes as a result of love, when nothing exists to frustrate it. Since outward things are used in the Word to describe inward ones, times of play and dancing are used to describe those of joy and gladness present in a person inwardly. Because of this, Miriam and the women went out with timbrels after the Egyptians had been drowned in the Sea Suph (the Red Sea) and started dancing. (Heavenly Secrets #10416) | By Rev. Thomas H.

The fallout of eating forbidden fruit Since the Lord's face is mercy, peace, and everything good, it is clear that He never looks at anyone except with mercy and never turns His face from anyone. It is we, when we are wrapped up in evil, who turn our faces away. As the Lord said through Isaiah: Your offenses are what cause a separation between you and your God: and your sins hide His face from you. (Isaiah 59:2) Likewise it says here that they hid themselves from Jehovah's face because they were naked. Mercy, peace and all that is good - Jehovah's face - are what give rise to the inner call in the case of those who have perception (and those who have conscience, too, but in a different way). The qualities always operate in a compassionate manner, but the way we receive them depends on our state. (Heavenly Secrets 223-224, New Century Edition) | By Rev. Dr Andrew M.
