518. In the preceding pages, when treating of the marriage of the Lord and the Church (nos. 116 seq.) and the marriage of good and truth (nos. 83 seq.), it was demonstrated that the former marriage corresponds to marriages on earth. From this it follows that the violation of it corresponds to whoredoms and adulteries. That such is the case is manifestly evident from the Word itself, in that by whoredoms and adulteries there, are signified falsifications of truth and adulterations of good. This can be seen in clear light from the passages from the word abundantly adduced in THE APOCALYPSE REVEALED, no. 134.
