518. In the previous part where we took up the marriage of the Lord and the church (nos. 116ff) and the marriage between goodness and truth (nos. 83ff), we showed that there is a correspondence between that marriage and marriages on earth. It follows in consequence of this that there is a correspondence between violation of that marriage and whoredoms and adulteries. The fact of this is clearly apparent from the Word itself, where whoredoms and adulteries symbolize falsifications of truth and adulterations of good, as may be seen evidenced in the passages from the Word extensively cited in The Apocalypse Revealed, no. 134.
