10212. To your generations. That this signifies those of the church who are in the truths and goods of faith, is evident from the signification of "generations" as being those things which are of faith and charity (see the places cited in n. 10204); that those are meant who are of the church is because genuine truths and goods of faith and love exist solely with these, for with these is the Word; and by the "sons of Israel," whose generations are here meant, is signified the church (see the places cited in n. 9340).
