AC 6333, 6340 - the Lord's Word unites angels and people

AC 6333 [3-4]
The Word is given in order to unite heaven and earth,
or angels with people;
and therefore it has been so written
that it may be spiritually understood by the angels,
when naturally understood by people,
and that in this way
what is holy may flow in through the angels,
by which means union is effected.
Such is the Word
in both the historical and the prophetical parts;
but the internal sense
is less apparent in the historical
than in the prophetical parts,
because the historical parts
have been written in a different style,
yet still by means of significatives.

The historical parts have been given
in order that infants and children
may thereby be initiated into the reading of the Word;
for the historical parts are delightful, and rest in their minds,
whereby communication is given them with the heavens;
and this communication is grateful,
because they are in a state of innocence and mutual charity.
This is the reason why there is an historical Word.
There is a prophetical Word,
because when it is read,
it is not understood by a person except obscurely,
and when it is understood obscurely
by such people as there are now,
it is perceived clearly by the angels . . ..

AC 6340
. . . they who are of the church should hear the Lord,
that is, should hear Him in the Word,
and what He there teaches with respect
to the truths of faith and the goods of love . . ..
