146. The quarters in the heavens which constitute the Lord's celestial kingdom differ from the quarters in the heavens which constitute His spiritual kingdom for the reason that the Lord is seen by the angels in His celestial kingdom as a Sun but by the angels in His spiritual kingdom as a Moon, and the east is where the Lord appears. The distance there between the Sun and the Moon is thirty degrees, hence there is the same distance between the quarters. That heaven is distinguished into two kingdoms called the celestial kingdom and the spiritual kingdom may be seen in the appropriate section (n. 20-28), also that the Lord appears in the celestial kingdom as a Sun, and in the spiritual kingdom as a Moon (n. 118). Yet it does not follow that the quarters of heaven become confused on this account, since the spiritual angels cannot ascend to the celestial angels nor can the celestial descend to the spiritual angels, as may be seen above (n. 35).
