BE 118 - an east wind blew

BE 118 [3-4]
Then immediately an east wind blew . . .
and there appeared a tabernacle, as to its outward form simple.
And the angels who were with me said,
"Behold, the tabernacle of Abraham,
such as it was when the three angels came to him
and announced the future birth of Isaac.
It appears indeed simple to the eye,
but nevertheless according to the influx of light from heaven
it becomes more and more magnificent."
And they were permitted to open the heaven,
in which were the spiritual angels who excel in wisdom,
and then from the influx of light from heaven there,
the Tabernacle appeared as a temple resembling that of Jerusalem;
and on looking into it, I saw that the stone in the floor,
under which the Word was deposited,
was set with precious stones,
from which there issued forth bright rays as of lightning
that shone upon the walls,
and caused beautiful variegations of color on certain cherubic forms
that were sculptured on them.
As I was admiring these things, the angels said,
"You shall see something yet still more wonderful."
And it was permitted them to open the third heaven,
in which were the celestial angels who are in love,
and then from the light there inflowing that whole temple disappeared,
and in its stead was seen the Lord alone,
standing on the foundation stone, which was the Word,
in the same form that He appeared to John (Rev. 1).
But because holiness then filled the interiors of the minds of the angels,
occasioning in them an inclination to fall on their faces,
suddenly the way of light from the third heaven was closed by the Lord,
and the way from the second heaven opened;
in consequence of which the former appearance of the temple returned,
and also of the tabernacle, but this was in the temple.
Hereby was illustrated the meaning of these words:

Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men,
and He will dwell with them.
(Revelation 21:3).

And by these:

And I saw no temple in the New Jerusalem,
for the Lord God Omnipotent and the Lamb are the temple of it.
(Revelation 21:22)
