I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the certainty of all this. And he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things:
Daniel 7:16
Marriage # 113
113. That this is the origin of true conjugial love can also be established from the fact that no one can be in it unless he is in good by means of truth, and in truth from good proceeding from the Lord; also from the fact that there is blessedness and heavenly happiness in that love, and all who are in it come into heaven or the heavenly marriage; also from the fact that when there is talk among the angels of the union of good and truth, then in the lower region among good spirits a representation of marriage is produced, but among wicked spirits a representation of adultery. This is why the adulteration of good and the falsification of truth are called adultery and whoring.
Daniel 7:9-14
9
I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
10
A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
11
I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
12
As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
13
I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
14
And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
