Paved with gold, paved with love

Song of Solomon 3:10 - King James Version (KJV)
<10> He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.

Revelation 21:21 - King James Version (KJV)
<21> And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

This is mentioned in passing to show the ways in which the stones of the temple stand upon one another perfectly in the repaired breach. For the gold is the good of love and the silver the truths of faith, and the bottom thereof must be paved with gold, with the good of love. "Let thy head lack no ointment' : Let thy spiritual knowledge lack not love of God and the neighbor, the good of love, in practice in your life : Let not your lamp lack for oil.

Exodus 16:23 - King James Version (KJV)
<23> And he said unto them, This is that which the Lord hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the Lord: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

Bake the purification of your heart. Seethe the purification of your mind. This is the double portion of manna gathered on the 6th day for the 7th. And this is the 7th day marriage of love and enlightenment which is Sabbath rest and peace and dove's eyes and the covenant:

Ecclesiastes 9:7 - King James Version (KJV)
<7> Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.

For thy works are now not internally evil but are imbued with the harmlessness of doves married to the wisdom of serpents.

Song of Solomon 8:3 - King James Version (KJV)
<3> His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.

He will enlighten your mind and teach your heart true fraternity and mentor you patiently in the astonishing network of His being in you and you in Him. These are being strengthened in might and with the riches of His glory.

Ephesians 3:16 - King James Version (KJV)
<16> That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

Even so does the Lord ride a swift cloud of the Word and its supplements, appearing in the clouds of Heaven with great power and glory.

Ephesians 3:17-18 - King James Version (KJV)
<17> That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, <18> May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

Amen.

Hear, 21st century man, the inner meaning of the Word of God

  John 16:7 - King James Version (KJV) <7> Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. You put that alongside this: "That the veil of the temple was rent in twain when the Lord suffered the cross (Matt. 27:51; Mark 15:38; Luke 23:45) signified His glorification; for when the Lord was in the world, He made His Human Divine truth; but when He departed out of the world, He made His Human Divine good, from which the Divine truth now proceeds" (Arcana Coelestia 9670). Mark 15:38 - King James Version (KJV) <38> And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. Luke 23:45 - King James Version (KJV) <45> And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. And you put this alongside that:  Luke 23:44-45 - King James Version (KJV) <44> And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a ...

He suffered no one to accompany Him but Peter, James, and John

As we have covered root, branch, and fruit, it is appropriate now to touch on Peter, James, and John, the disciples who represent basically the same things: with Peter being faith, James being charity, and John being the works of charity which proceed from the marriage of faith and charity; just as fruit depends on the root and the branch.  We read in Mark, on the occasion of the Lord's raising a 12 year old girl from the dead, that "he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James" (Mark 5:37).  That the Word specifically mentions these three disciples in the context of someone's being raised from the dead is due to the fact that there is no resurrection from spiritual death to spiritual life without charity, faith, and good deeds. Many things are said to and about Peter, James, and John, and these all have something to do with what they represent. Since Peter represents faith, and faith can be either married to charity or separa...

Outreach for Muslims: Gardens Rivers Date Palms Grape Vines Two

"And We have placed in it gardens of palm trees and grapevines, and caused springs to gush forth in it" (Ya-Sin 36:34). In the Latin Testament, where correspondences built into the universe are taught, a garden is a human. Gardens of palm trees and grape vines are humans with divine truths, and the springs which gush forth in them are enlightenment concerning these by God; as by rivers of divine truth flowing through and nourishing the Eden of the inner human. "These quotations indicate that in comparing humans (or what humans have inside them) to a garden, the earliest people included the idea of the water or rivers that watered the garden. It is also apparent that they took the water and rivers to mean the things that would stimulate growth" (Arcana Coelestia 108). The water is to stimulate growth in the garden of palm trees and grape vines and divine truths and holy practices; as water is to clean the flesh in the rite of baptism and as the blood of the Lamb of H...
