AE 573 - the balance

AE 573 [8]

. . . because truths from good
fight against the falsities from evil,
and reversely the falsities from evil
fight against the truths from good,
they are called "hosts;"
for there is continual combat;
evils and falsities continually exhale from the hells,
and endeavor to destroy the truths from good 
that are in heaven and from heaven,
and these continually resist.
For everywhere in the spiritual world
there is an equilibrium between heaven and hell;
and where there is an equilibrium,
there two forces continually act against each other;
one acts and the other reacts,
and continual action and reaction is continual combat;
but equilibrium is provided by the Lord.
