Whose appearance was as lightning, and their garments glistening and white. Matt. xxviii. 3; Mark xvi. 5; Luke xxiv. 4; John xx. 12, 13.

and those seen in heaven by John,

who had garments of fine linen and white. Rev. iv. 4; xix. 14.

And because intelligence is from Divine Truth,

The garments of the Lord, when He was transfigured, were radiant and glistening white like the light. Matt. xvii. 2; Mark ix. 3; Luke ix. 29.

As light is Divine Truth going forth from the Lord (see above n. 129) so, in the Word, garments signify truths, and intelligence from truths, as in John,

Those that have not defiled their garments. . . shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. He that overcometh shall be clothed in white garments. Rev. iii. 4, 5.

Blessed is he that is awake and keepeth his garments. Rev. xvi. 15.

And of Jerusalem which means a Church that is in truth,# it is written in Isaiah,

Awake, put on thy strength, O Zion; put on the garments of thy beauty, O Jerusalem. Isa. lii. 1.

and in Ezekiel,

Jerusalem, I girded thee about with fine linen, and covered thee with silk. . . . Thy garments were of fine linen and silk. Ezek. xvi. 10, 13.

besides many other passages.

But he who is not in truths is said not to be clothed with a wedding garment, as in Matthew,

When the king came in... he saw a man that had not on a wedding garment; and he said unto him, "Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment?" Wherefore he was cast out into outer darkness. Matt. xxii. 12, 13.

The house of the wedding feast means heaven and the Church, because of the conjunction of the Lord with heaven and the Church by means of His Divine Truth. Wherefore, in the Word, the Lord is called the Bridegroom and Husband; and heaven, with the Church, is called the bride and wife. # "Jerusalem" signifies the Church where there is genuine doctrine (n. 402, 3654, 9166).
