Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 8917

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

8917. 'And the people saw and were violently shaken' means the quivering that takes place when they - Divine Truths - are received. This is clear from the meaning of 'being violently shaken' as quivering that takes place, at this point the kind of quivering there is when Divine Truths are received. Regarding that quivering, see 5459, 8816.
