Dealing with people in disorder And He laid His right hand upon me, signifies life from Him. This is evident from the signification of "right hand," as being, in reference to the Lord, life from Him... "to touch with the hand" signifies to communicate and transfer to another what pertains to oneself, and also to receive from another. To communicate and transfer to another what pertains to oneself, in reference to the Lord, as here, is to communicate and transfer life such as those have who are in a state of illumination and who see and hear such things as are in heaven…. "To touch with the hand" is to communicate and transfer to another, because the whole power of man is transferred from the body into the hands; consequently what the mind wills that the body should do, that the arms and hands do… (Apocalypse Explained #79) | By Andrew M.T.

Be Still – Go Forward
Worship Service: Children & Adult - 25 Jul, 2010
What to do at the edge of the sea, spiritually (Exodus 14:13-15; Joshua 1:9; AC 8184, 10416) The meaning of 'dividing that sea' is dispersing the falsities arising from evil that are present in hell; for the falsities there are seen as waters. When the pillar of angels in which the Lord is present passes through that hell the falsities depart, and as a consequence the waters there, which are the falsities, are parted asunder. From this it is evident that 'dividing the sea' means dispersing the falsities belonging to the hell that is represented by 'the Sea Suph' (the Red Sea). (Heavenly Secrets #8184) The desire to celebrate resides inwardly in a person's feeling of freedom, and all feeling of freedom comes as a result of love, when nothing exists to frustrate it. Since outward things are used in the Word to describe inward ones, times of play and dancing are used to describe those of joy and gladness present in a person inwardly. Because of this, Miriam and the women went out with timbrels after the Egyptians had been drowned in the Sea Suph (the Red Sea) and started dancing.

Adam and Eve
Worship Service: Children & Adult - 18 Jul, 2010
The fallout of eating forbidden fruit (Gen. 3:1-19; Is. 59:2; AC 223-224) Since the Lord's face is mercy, peace, and everything good, it is clear that He never looks at anyone except with mercy and never turns His face from anyone. It is we, when we are wrapped up in evil, who turn our faces away. As the Lord said through Isaiah: Your offenses are what cause a separation between you and your God: and your sins hide His face from you. (Isaiah 59:2) Likewise it says here that they hid themselves from Jehovah's face because they were naked. Mercy, peace and all that is good - Jehovah's face - are what give rise to the inner call in the case of those who have perception (and those who have conscience, too, but in a different way). The qualities always operate in a compassionate manner, but the way we receive them depends on our state. (Heavenly Secrets 223-224, New Century Edition) | By Andrew M.T. Dibb, Ivyland New Church, PA

The Man Called Melchizedek
Worship Service: Children & Adult - 11 Jul, 2010
The King of Salem and Priest to God Most High (Gen. 14:18; John 6:35; AC 1728) "And Melchizedek, King of Salem, brought forth bread and wine, and he was priest to God Most High." (Genesis 14:18) “It is the Lord who governs all things in the universe, in general and in particular, as King by Divine Truth, and as Priest by Divine Good. . . . This was what Melchizedek represented as King of Salem and as Priest of the Most High God.” (Heavenly Secrets #1728) | By Thomas Rose, Ivyland New Church, PA
