106. If the sun in the spiritual world did not appear as distant from the angels as the sun in the natural world does from people, the entire angelic heaven, and beneath it hell, and beneath these our terraqueous globe, would not be under the Lord's oversight, direction, omnipresence, omniscience, omnipotence, and providence. It is comparatively like the sun in our world. If our sun were not as distant from the earth as it appears, it could not be present and effectual in all lands by its heat and light. Thus it could not render subsidiary assistance to the sun of the spiritual world.
