AC2574 - how precious to angels

AC 2574 [3]
. . . there are angels who, while they were people,
formed ideas of the Lord's Human 

as they did of that of any other person.
In order that these angels may exist together 

with celestial angels in the next life
 - for in that life, 

ideas inspired by an affection for good join people together -
such erroneous ideas as they have had about the Lord
are dispelled by means of the internal sense,
and in this way they are perfected.
This shows how precious to angels
those things are within the internal sense of the Word,
though they may perhaps seem of small importance
 to a person whose idea of such things is so obscure
as to be scarcely any idea at all.
