AC 10618 & 10623

AC 10618 [2]
As regards anger,
be it known further that evil becomes angry,
and good never,
for the reason that to be angry is to will evil to another,
which good cannot do,
for good consists in willing the good of another.

AC 10623
Visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons and upon the sons' sons.
(Exodus 34:7)
[2] He who is not acquainted with the internal sense of the Word
might easily believe that Jehovah visits the iniquity of the fathers
upon the sons and upon the sons' sons,
consequently that the sons are to suffer punishment for the evils of their fathers;
but that this is not the meaning is very evident from the Divine law
that the fathers are not to die for their sons,
nor the sons for their fathers,
but every man for his own evil (Deut. 24:16).
>From this it is evident that these words are to be understood otherwise
than according to the letter.

The angels, who also perceive the Word when it is being read by a man,
here understand nothing else by "fathers" and by "sons";
because in heaven, where the angels are,
it is not known, as it is with men, what a father is, and what a son is,
for there no one acknowledges anyone for his father,
nor anyone for his son,
because no one is born there as in the world;
and therefore when mention is made in the Word of "father" and "son,"
the angels perceive these expressions as relating to spiritual births,
which are those of good and truth, or of evil and falsity;
and therefore by "fathers" they perceive goods or evils,
and by "sons" truths or falsities,
because good is the father of truth, and evil is the father of falsity.
