AC 2821, 2822 - Consolation After Temptation

 AC 2821

The angel of Jehovah called unto him out of heaven.
(Genesis 22:11)

That this means consolation from the Divine Itself . . ..
We read in like manner concerning the Lord,
that when He sustained
the most grievous temptation in Gethsemane,
and angel from heaven was seen by Him
strengthening Him (Luke 22:43).
By the "angel from heaven" here
also in the intern sense is meant
the Divine which was in Him.

AC 2822

All consolation after temptation
is insinuated into good,
for from good is all joy;
and from the good
it passes into truth.
