AE 130 - by "angels" in the Word Divine truths are signified

AE 130 [8,10]
Because by "angels" in the Word Divine truths are signified,
therefore the people through whom Divine truths are made known
are sometimes called "angels" in the Word, as in Malachi:

The priest's lips ought to guard knowledge,
and they shall seek the law at his mouth,
because he is the angel of Jehovah.
(Malachi 2:7).

He is said to be the "angel of Jehovah,"
because he teaches Divine truth;
not that he is the angel of Jehovah,
but the Divine truth that he teaches is.
Moreover, it is known in the church that no one has Divine truth from himself.

It is said that by "angels" in the Word, in its spiritual sense,
Divine truths proceeding from the Lord are meant,
because these constitute the angels;
when angels utter these truths,
they speak not from themselves, but from the Lord.
The angels not only know that this is so,
but they also perceive it.
The person who believes that nothing of faith is from himself,
but that all faith is from God,
also knows this, indeed, but he does not perceive it.
