259. The existence of writings in the heavens is a provision by the Lord for the sake of the Word, the Word in its essence being Divine Truth, from which is all heavenly wisdom, both for men and for angels; for the Word is dictated by the Lord, and what is dictated by the Lord passes through all the heavens in order and terminates with man. Thereby it is adapted both to the wisdom in which angels are and to the intelligence in which men are. Thereby, too, the angels have a Word, and read it just as men do on earth. From it they draw their doctrinals, and from it preaching takes place (n. 221). It is the same Word; but its natural sense, which is the sense of the letter with us, does not exist in heaven, but the spiritual sense, which is its internal sense. What this sense is can be seen in the small work on THE WHITE HORSE described in Revelation.
