106. If the Sun of the spiritual world did not appear at a distance from the angels just as the sun of the world does from men, the whole angelic heaven and hell beneath it, and below these our terraqueous globe, would not be under the attention, care, omnipresence, omniscience, omnipotence and providence of the Lord, in the same way as the sun of our world, if it were not at such a distance from the earth as it appears, could not be present and powerful by its heat and light in all lands, thus could not perform a subsidiary use to the Sun of the spiritual world.
