AC 4681 - "To Speak for Peace"

For to "speak for peace"
means to wish anyone well,
inasmuch as by "peace"
the ancients understood in the supreme sense
the Lord Himself,
in the internal sense
His kingdom and life therein, or salvation,
but in the external sense
safety or health in the world.
The contrary of this is not to be able
to speak for peace to anyone,
that is, not to wish him well,
thus to be averse to,
here to Divine truth.
