HH 286 - Divine peace

HH 286
Divine peace is in the Lord;
it springs from the union of the Divine Itself
and the Divine Human in Him.
The Divine of peace in heaven is from the Lord,
springing from His conjunction with the angels of heaven,
and in particular
from the conjunction of good and truth in each angel.
These are the origins of peace.
From this it can be seen
that peace in the heavens is the Divine
inmostly affecting
with blessedness
everything good therefrom,
and from this is every joy of heaven;
also that it is in its essence
the Divine joy of the Lord's Divine love,
resulting from His conjunction with heaven
and with everyone there.
This joy,
felt by the Lord in angels
and by angels from the Lord,
is peace.
By derivation from this
the angels have everything
that is blessed, delightful, and happy,
or that which is called heavenly joy.
