AE 20
. . . "seven" signifies what is full'
but when multitude is treated of, "seven" signifies all.
"Three" also in the Word signifies what is full and all;
But "seven" is used in the Word
where anything holy is treated of,
and "three" in all other cases . . ..
AE 23
For the whole heaven is heaven
not from the angels' proprium
[selfhood, or what is their own],
but from the Divine of the Lord;
nor is the church the church from the proprium of men,
but from the Divine of the Lord;
for all the good of love and the truth of faith
are from the Lord,
and it is the good of love and the truth of faith
that make heaven and the church.
Angels and men are only recipients,
and so far as they receive,
heaven and the church are in them.
AE 33
. . . Divine good has all might and all power
through Divine truth . . ..
"Glory" is Divine truth in heaven
because Divine truth is the light there;
and the things that have existence
from the light of heaven
are called "glory,"
because they have existence from the Lord
and represent the Divine truth that is from Him,
and declare His glory;
especially the things that are within the angel,
which are of intelligence and wisdom.
