Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 7511

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

7511. 'And all the livestock of the Egyptians died' means an annihilation of the truth and good of faith with those engaged in molestation. This is clear from the meaning of 'dying - dying from pestilence - as an annihilation, as above in 7505, 7507; and from the meaning of 'the livestock of the Egyptians' as the Church's truths and forms of good residing with those who engage in molestation, as also above, in 7506.
