[NCE]1805. Genesis 15:5. And leading him outside he said, "Look, please, toward the sky and count the stars, if you can count them." And he said to him, "This is how your seed will be."
Leading him outside symbolizes the eyesight of the intermediate self, which views the inner reaches from the outer. He said, "Look, please, toward the sky," symbolizes a representation of the Lord's kingdom when one is gazing at the universe. "And count the stars" symbolizes a representation of goodness and truth when one is gazing at the constellations. "If you can count them" symbolizes the fertility of love and the prolificness of faith. And he said to him, "This is how your seed will be," symbolizes the heirs of the Lord's kingdom.
