Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 5439

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

5439. 'And he said to them, No, but the nakedness of the land you have come to see' means that they do not care whether they are truths. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming to see the nakedness of the land' as that nothing would please them more than to know for themselves that they are not truths, dealt with in 5433. Here something similar is meant - that they do not care whether they are truths.
