Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 10092

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

10092. 'And the flank of the heave offering' means the Divine Celestial, which is the Lord's alone, perceived in heaven and in the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'the flank' as the Divine Celestial in heaven and in the Church, dealt with in 10075; and from the meaning of 'the heave offering' as that which has been given and received, dealt with below. The Divine Celestial is Divine Good from the Lord which has been received in the inmost heaven, the heaven that is also spoken of as the celestial kingdom. So it is that Divine Good received in the inmost heaven is called celestial good.
