2853、“并且地上所有的民族都必因你的种得福”表示所有被赋予良善的人的拯救。这从“得福”、“种”和“地上万族”的含义清楚可知：“得福”是指富有属天和属灵的良善（参看981，1096，1420，1422节），在此因论述的主题是那些得救的人而指得救，因为众所周知，“得福”具有非常广泛的含义；“种”是指仁之信（参看1025，1447，1610节）；“地上的民族”是指那些被赋予良善的人（参看1159，1258-1260，1416，1849节）。
此外，这些话还包含以下奥秘：通过此处“地”所表示的教会（662，1066，1067，1262节），那些教会之外的人也得救了，因为如刚才所述，“你的种”表示仁之信。唯一拥有这信的人，是教会里的人，因为仁之信是与生活的良善紧密结合的教义之真理。这个事情的真相是这样：主在地上的国是由所有被赋予良善的人组成的，他们虽分散在全世界，但仍为一，如同各个部位构成一个身体。主在天上的国也是如此；在那里，整个天堂呈现为一个人，故也被称为大人（684，1276节）。令人惊异且迄今不为人知的是，人体的各个部位都对应于天上的各个社群。因此有时会说，这组社群属于头部区域，那组社群属于眼部区域，另一组属于胸部区域，等等。蒙主的神性怜悯，我将在别处单独详述这种对应关系。
主在地上的教会也一样。地上的教会就像心和肺，而那些教会之外的人则类似人体中那些靠心肺支撑和存活的部位。由此明显可知，如果教会不存在于地上的某个地方，人类就无法继续存在，正如人体没有心肺就无法继续存在一样（参看468，637，931，2054节）。这就是为何每当教会因仁爱荡然无存而走向尽头，也就是不再是一个教会时，按照主的旨意，总有一个新教会兴起。例如，当被称为“人”的上古教会灭亡时，主便创造了一个被称为“挪亚”的新教会；该教会就是大洪水之后的古教会。当古教会衰落，不再是一个教会时，犹太和以色列的代表性教会就建立了。当该教会完全灭绝时，主就降世，再次建立一个新教会。主这样做的目的，是为了使天堂可以通过教会与人类结合。这也是“地上所有的民族都必因你的种得福”所表示的。

2853. In thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed. That this signifies the salvation of all who are in good, is evident from the signification of "being blessed," as being to be enriched with celestial and spiritual good (see n. 981, 1096, 1420, 1422); here, to be saved, because spoken of those who are saved (that "to be blessed" has a comprehensive meaning is well known); from the signification of "seed," as being the faith of charity (see n. 1025, 1447, 1610); and from the signification of the "nations of the earth," as being those who are in good (see n. 1159, 1258-1260, 1416, 1849). [2] Moreover in these words there is contained the following arcanum: that through the church (which is here the "earth," n. 662, 1066, 1067, 1262) those are saved who are out of the church; for as just stated, "thy seed" denotes the faith of charity; and no others are in the faith of charity than those within the church, for the faith of charity is truth of doctrine adjoined to good of life. The case is this: The Lord's kingdom on earth consists of all those who are in good, who though scattered over the whole earth, are still one, and as members constitute one body. Such is the Lord's kingdom in the heavens, where the whole heaven represents one man, which is therefore also called the Grand Man (n. 684, 1276); and what is wonderful and hitherto unknown, all parts of the human body correspond to societies in heaven. And therefore it is sometimes said that some societies belong to the province of the head, some to the province of the eye, others to that of the chest, and so on, which correspondence will of the Lord's Divine mercy be spoken of by itself. [3] The case is the same with the Lord's church on earth, where the church is like the heart and lungs; while those outside the church answer to the parts of the body which are supported and live from the heart and lungs. Hence it is manifest that without a church somewhere on the earth the human race could not subsist, as the body could not without the heart and lungs (see n. 468, 637, 931, 2054). From this cause it is that whenever any church is consummated, that is, becomes no church because there is no longer any charity, a new one is of the Lord's providence always raised up; as when the Most Ancient Church called "Man" perished, a new one was created by the Lord, which was called "Noah," and was the Ancient Church that was after the flood; and when this degenerated and became none, the Jewish and Israelitish representative Church was instituted; and when this became altogether extinct, the Lord then came into the world, and set up again a new one; and this for the purpose that there might be conjunction of heaven with the human race through the church. This is also what is signified by "in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed."

2853. 'In your seed all the nations of the earth will be blessed' means the salvation of all who are endowed with good. This is clear from the meaning of 'being blessed' as being enriched with celestial and spiritual good (dealt with in 981, 1096, 1420, 1422) and - since those who are saved are the subject - as being saved, for as is well known 'being blessed' has a wide range of meanings; from the meaning of 'seed' as faith that is the expression of charity, dealt with in 1025, 1447, 1610; and from the meaning of 'the nations of the earth' as those who are endowed with good, dealt with in 1159, 1258-1260, 1416, 1849.
[2] In addition to this, these words contain the following arcanum: By means of the Church, meant here by 'the earth', 662, 1066, 1068, 1262, those people are saved who are outside of the Church, for 'your seed', as has been stated, means faith that is the expression of charity. Faith that is the expression of charity occurs only with those within the Church since such faith is in essence truth taught by doctrine coupled to goodness of life. For the truth of the matter is that the Lord's kingdom on earth consists of all those who are endowed with good, who, though spread throughout the whole world, are nevertheless one, and as members constitute one body. The same is so with the Lord's kingdom in the heavens. There the whole of heaven presents itself as one entire human being, which is for that reason also called the Grand Man, 684, 1276. And what is a marvel and unknown until now, all parts of the human body correspond to communities in heaven. For this reason it is sometimes said that this group of communities belong to the province of the head, that group to the province of the eye, another group to that of the chest, and so on. This correspondence will in the Lord's Divine mercy be discussed in a section by itself.
[3] It is similar with the Lord's Church on earth. Here the Church is like the heart and lungs, and those outside of the Church resemble parts of the body which are sustained by, and get their life from, the heart and lungs. From this it is evident that without the Church somewhere on earth the human race cannot continue to exist, even as the body cannot without the heart and lungs in it, see 468, 637, 931, 2054. It is for this reason that as often as any Church reaches its end, that is, ceases to be a Church because no charity exists any more, the Lord in His Providence always raises up a new one. When for example the Most Ancient Church, which was called Man, perished, the Lord created a new one, which was referred to as Noah. This was the Ancient Church, which existed after the Flood. And when this declined and became no longer a Church, the Jewish and Israelite representative Church was brought into being. And when this became wholly extinct the Lord came into the world and again established a new one. This was done by Him to the end that heaven might be joined to the human race by means of the Church. This is also what is meant by the words 'in your seed all nations of the earth will be blessed'.
