Peace symbolizes everything whatever that comes from the Lord,
and so everything pertaining to heaven and the church,
and the blessings of life in them.
In the highest or inmost sense, these are blessings of peace.
It follows from this that peace means charity,
spiritual security, and inner rest,
for when a person abides in the Lord,
he is at peace with his neighbor, which is a state of charity,
and he has protection from hell, which is spiritual security.
And when he is at peace with his neighbor and has protection from hell,
he enjoys an inner rest from evils and falsities.
