AC 5044 [3]
That a "prince" denotes primary truth,
is because a "king" in the internal sense signifies truth itself....
In Isaiah 9:6,7:
For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given;
and the principality shall be upon His shoulder - the Prince of peace.
Of the multiplying of His principality and peace there shall be no end;
which is said of the Lord.
The "principality upon the shoulder" is all the Divine truth in the heavens from Him;
for the heavens are distinguished into principalities according to truths from good,
and so also the angels are called "principalities."
Peace is a state of blessedness in the heavens,
affecting with good and truth from the inmosts;
and so the Lord is called the "Prince of peace,"
and it is said that
"of the multiplying of His principality and peace there shall be no end."
