917. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. This symbolically means that every truth of the New Church and its doctrine embodies the goodness of love flowing in together with light from the Lord out of heaven.

The description here is like the one in verse 18 above, which says that the city was pure gold, like clear glass, which symbolically means that everything connected with that church embodies the goodness of love flowing in together with light out of heaven from the Lord, as may be seen in nos. 912, 913, with the difference that we are told here that the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass, and the street of the city symbolizes the truth of the church's doctrine (no. 501).

That every truth in the church's doctrine from the Word embodies the goodness of love may be seen in nos. 906, 908 above.
