AC 9548
And you shall make a lampstand.
That this signifies the spiritual heaven,
is evident from the signification of the "lampstand,"
as being the Divine spiritual in heaven and in the church from the Lord.
That by the "lampstand" is signified the Divine spiritual
is because by "the table on which were the breads of faces"
is signified the Divine celestial, as was shown in what goes before.
The Divine celestial is the good of love,
and the Divine spiritual is the truth of faith thence derived;
both proceeding from the Lord.
That the "lampstand" denotes the Divine spiritual is from its illumination,
for the Divine truth which proceeds from the Divine good of the Lord
is what gives light in heaven,
nor have the angels light from any other source.
Hence it is that in the Word the Lord is called "the Light,"
and by "light" is signified faith,
also the intelligence of truth and the wisdom of good,
which are from the Lord alone.
