AE 395 [1, 2]
And white robes were given unto every one.
(Revelation 6:11)
. . . a white robe signifies Divine truth from the Lord.
All spirits and angels are clothed
according to their intelligence,
or according to the reception of truth in the life,
for this is intelligence,
and the light of their intelligence is formed into garments,
which, when they are so formed,
not only appear as garments,
but also are garments.
For all things that exist in the spiritual world,
and appear before their eyes,
exist from the light and heat
that proceed from the Lord as a Sun.
From this origin not only
are all things in the spiritual world created and formed,
but also all things in the natural world;
for the natural world exists and subsists
from the Lord through the spiritual world.
The white robes given to those who were under the altar,
also signify protection by the Lord,
because the white robes given to them,
represented the Lord's presence
with the Divine truth around them;
and the Lord by means of Divine truth protects His own,
for He surrounds them with a sphere of light,
from which they have white robes;
and when they are thus encompassed,
they can no longer be infested by evil spirits . . ..
This also takes place with those
who are raised by the Lord into heaven.
They are then clothed with white robes,
which is an indication that they are in Divine truth,
and thus in safety.
