AC 4180 - the "Dread"; and the Holy which proceeds from the Lord

AC 4180
The "Dread" is mentioned because the Divine truth is meant,
for the Divine truth carries with it fear, dread, and terror
to those who are not in good;
but not so the Divine good,
which terrifies no one.

The Holy which proceeds from the Lord
has in itself Divine good and Divine truth.
These proceed continually from the Lord.
From them is the light which is in the heavens,
and therefore the light which is in human minds,
and consequently wisdom and intelligence,
for these are within that light.
But that light, or wisdom and intelligence,
affects all according to their reception.
Those who are in evil do not receive the Divine good,
for they are in no love and charity;
for all good is of love and charity.
The Divine truth however can be received even by the evil,
but only by their external person, not by their internal.
