Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 3770

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

3770. 'And all the droves would be gathered there' means that all the Churches and their doctrinal teachings come from there. This is clear from the meaning of 'droves' as Churches and also as matters of doctrine belonging to the Churches, dealt with above in 3767, 3768. Their derivation from the Word is meant by their 'being gathered there'.
