Out of the midst of the cloud. That this signifies out of the obscurity there was before, is evident from the signification of "the cloud," as being the ultimate of the Word, which is therefore relatively obscure (of which above, n. 9430).

I saw a most beautiful flame of varying color, purple, and also bright red, and the colors with a beautiful ruddy glow from the flame, I also saw a certain hand, to which this flame adhered, at first on the back, afterward in the palm, and thence it played round the hand on all sides.

LIGHT AND HEAT IN HEAVEN. That there is light in the heavens those who think from nature alone cannot comprehend; and yet such is the light in the heavens that it exceeds by many degrees the noon-day light of the world. That light I have often seen, even during the evening and night. At first I wondered when I heard the angels say that the light of this world is little more than a shado... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=126 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 346 346. XXXVIII. THE WISE AND THE SIMPLE IN HEAVEN.

But few know who are meant by the &... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=346 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 459 459. It should be known that everyone's human form after death is the more beautiful in proportion as he has more interiorly loved Divine truths and lived according to them; for everyone's interiors are opened and formed in accordance with his love and life; therefore the more interior the affection is the more like heaven it is, and in consequence the more beautiful the face is. This is why the a... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=459 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 518 518.

That the Lord came into the world to reduce into order all things in heaven, and derivatively on earth; that this was effected by means of combats against the hells, which were then infesting every man that came into the world and that went out of the world; and that He thereby became righteousness, and saved men, who otherwise could not have been saved, is foretold in many passages in the Pro... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ld§ion=14 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on the Lord 64 64.

This is why "Jerusalem" signifies the ch... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ld§ion=64 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 48 48. VI.

From this it is plain that since the natural mind can be elevated, a bad man equally with... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=266 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 5 5. III. THIS ONE IS IN A CERTAIN MANNER IMAGED IN EVERY CREATED THING.
