153. And his feet like fine brass. That this signifies the ultimate of Divine order, which is the Natural, full of Divine love, is evident from what was said and shown above (n. 69), where similar words occur. Because In what Is. written to the angel of this church, the subject treated of is the internal of the church, which is spiritual, and its external, which is natural, that they should make one (as may be seen above, n. 150), therefore it is premised concerning the Lord, from whom is the all of the church,
"These things saith the Son of man, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet like fine brass."
For by eyes, when said of men, is signified the internal, which is spiritual, and by feet the external, which is natural; but by eyes and feet, when said of the Lord, are signified the Divine things from which those exist with man.
