AC 4085 - "And the angel of God said . . ."

AC 4085
And the angel of God said unto me in the dream, Jacob;
and I said, Behold me!
(Genesis 31:11)
. . . an "angel," when mentioned in the Word,
signifies something of the Lord,
that is, something of the Divine;
for the reason that an angel does not speak from himself,
but from the Lord,
especially when he speaks in a dream, as here to Jacob.
Moreover the angels are of such a disposition as to be indignant
if anything of good and truth that they speak is attributed to them;
and insofar as they can they remove such an idea from others,
especially from a person;
for they know and perceive that all the good and truth
which they think, will, and effect, are from the Lord,
and thus from the Divine.
