Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 7316

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

7316. 'Behold, I strike with the rod which is in my hand upon the waters which are in the river' means power over falsities which are the result of illusions. This is clear from the meaning of 'the rod' as power, dealt with above in 7309; and from the meaning of 'the waters which are in the river' as falsities which are the result of illusions, also dealt with above, in 7307.
