AE 914 - The Spiritual and Natural Word

AE 914 [2]

The Divine truth in heaven
is such as the Word is in the spiritual sense;
while the Divine truth on earth .
is such as the Word is in the natural sense,
or the sense of the letter.
This Divine truth is for people,
and makes the church with them;
while the other Divine truth is for the angels,
and makes heaven with them.
These differ as what is spiritual
differs from what is natural;
and this difference is like
the difference between the wisdom of angels
and the wisdom of men.
The wisdom of people
as compared with the wisdom of angels
is as knowledge compared with intelligence,
which difference is so great that it cannot be described.
