Explanation of Leviticus 26:7
Napsal(a) Henry MacLagan
Verse 7. And when temptations do arise, the love of good will disperse evils; and the love of truth will exterminate falsities.
Heaven and Hell # 127
127. Heaven's light is not natural like the light of our world, but spiritual. It actually comes from the Lord as the sun, and that sun, as explained in the preceding chapter, is divine love. While what emanates from the Lord as the sun is called divine truth in the heavens, in essence it is divine good as one with divine truth. This is the source of light and warmth for angels: they get their light from the divine truth and their warmth from the divine good.
We can therefore conclude that heaven's light, in view of the nature of its source, is spiritual and not natural, as is its warmth. 1

Divine truth emanating from the Lord appears in heaven as light, and constitutes all the light of heaven: 3195, 3222 [3223?], 5400, 8644, 9399, 9548, 9684.
