Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 9788

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

9788. 'It shall be the statute of an age' means Divine order. This is clear from the meaning of 'the statute' as Divine order, dealt with in 7884, 7995, 8357; and from the meaning of 'an age' as what is eternal. What is Divine is also eternal.
