515. THE CORRESPONDENCE OF LICENTIOUSNESS TO VIOLATION OF THE SPIRITUAL MARRIAGE

I would start off here with something about correspondence and what it is, but that is not the subject of this book. However, what correspondence is may be seen in summary form in nos. 76 and 342 above, and more fully in The Apocalypse Revealed from beginning to end, which deals with the correspondence between the natural meaning and spiritual meaning of the Word. That the Word has a natural meaning and a spiritual meaning, and that there is a correspondence between them - this we showed in The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Regarding the Sacred Scripture, and specifically in nos. 5-26 there.
