There now follows a brief Exposition of the Doctrine of the New Church, which is meant by the New Jerusalem in Revelation (chaps. 21 and 22).

That "milk" d... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ac§ion=2643 A Disclosure of the Hidden Treasures of Heaven Contained in the Holy Scripture or Word of the Lord, Together with Amazing Things Seen in the World of Spirits and in the Heaven of Angels 4220 4220.

For the spiritu... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=252 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 63 63.
