34. The case would be the same with the heavens where angels dwell, without the world where people dwell. The human race is their foundation, containing vessel and buttress, the Word being both among people and within them. For the heavens are all divided into two kingdoms, called the celestial kingdom and the spiritual kingdom. These two kingdoms rest on the natural kingdom inhabited by people. And so the case is likewise with the Word, which exists among people and within them.

That the angelic heavens have been distinguished into two kingdoms, celestial and spiritual, may be seen in the book Heaven and Hell 20-28.
