Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 9523

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

9523. 'From between the two cherubs' means where celestial good and spiritual good have been joined together. This is clear from the meaning of 'the two cherubs' as celestial good and spiritual good through which access to the Lord lies, dealt with above in 9511. The reason why access lies where celestial good and spiritual good have been joined together is that celestial good flows into spiritual good and is in that way transmitted.
