AR 548 - Michael

AR 548
And there was war in heaven,
Michael and his angels fought with the dragon . . .
(Revelation 12:7)

By "war" is signified spiritual war,
which is of falsity against truth, and truth against falsity . . ..

By "Michael" is not meant any archangel; neither by "Gabriel, and Raphael,"
but ministries in heaven are meant;
the ministry signified by "Michael"
is performed by those who confirm from the Word,
that the Lord is the God of heaven and earth,
and that God the Father and He are one, as the soul and body are one;
also that people ought to live
according to the commandments of the Decalogue,
and that then people have charity and faith.
