'He went in accordance with his journeys' means as accorded with order. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'journeys', or travels, as further advances, dealt with in 1457; and because those advances
were made in accordance with order, 'journeys' here has no other meaning. From earliest childhood the Lord advanced, wholly according to Divine order, towards celestial things and into celestial things.
The nature of this order is described in the internal sense by Abram. It is according to that same order also that all who are being created anew by the Lord are brought on their way, though with
men that order varies according to individual nature and character. But the order by which a person is brought on his way while being regenerated no mortal being knows, not even the angels except in
vaguest outline; only the Lord knows it.
