Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 3435

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

3435. 'And we shall be fruitful in the land' means increases of good from there. This is clear from the meaning of 'being fruitful' as increases of good, for 'being fruitful' has reference to good, and 'being multiplied' to truth, see 43, 55, 913, 983, 2846, 2847; and from the meaning of 'the land' as the Church and whatever belongs to the Church, dealt with in 662, 1066, 1067, 1262, 1733, 1850, 2928, 3355.
