AC 9382 - When the Lord Comes; AC 9387 - Morning

AC 9382 [1, 3]

. . . when the Lord comes,
that is,
is present in the Word,
there is enlightenment . . ..

That the Word is the source
of enlightenment and instruction,
is because in its first origin
it is truth Divine itself that proceeds from the Lord,
and in its descent into the world
is accommodated to all the heavens.
So it is that when a person
who has heavenly love reads the Word,
he is through it conjoined with heaven,
and through heaven with the Lord,
whereby he has enlightenment and instruction.
It is otherwise when a person
who has worldly love reads the Word.
With him there is no conjunction of heaven;
and therefore he has no enlightenment and instruction.

AC 9387

. . . the morning corresponds to
the coming and presence of the Lord,
which exists when an angel is in a state
of peace, innocence, and heavenly love,
and thereby in joy.
