Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 5908

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

5908. 'God has established me as lord for all Egypt' means that it sets in order every single thing in the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'being established as lord' as setting in order, as above in 5903, 5904; and from the meaning of 'all Egypt' as factual knowledge in the natural, and so every single thing there. For factual knowledge is what the natural consists of; and 'Egypt', as shown many times already, means factual knowledge.
