Studie

       

11 die Stimme der Wonne und die Stimme der Freude, die Stimme des Bräutigams und die Stimme der Braut, die Stimme derer, welche sagen: Lobet (O. Danket) Jehova der Heerscharen, denn Jehova ist gütig, denn seine Güte währt ewiglich! die Stimme derer, welche Lob (O. Dank) in das Haus Jehovas bringen. Denn ich werde die Gefangenschaft des Landes wenden wie im Anfang, spricht Jehova.

ON MARRIAGE II

On the representation of conjugial love by the most beautiful objects.

Truly conjugial love is represented in heaven by various means. It is represented by diamond auras, glistening as if with rubies and garnets, also by the most beautiful rainbows and showers of gold, the sight of which fills by-standers with such pleasure and delight that their minds are stirred to their depths. I have heard the angels in the gardens of heaven when conjugial love was so represented, and they said that they were filled with such delight that they could not express it otherwise than by saying it was delight itself, from which all other delights sprang as from their origin. They said that this was pure mental delight, without any arousing of lust. For such is conjugial love in origin.
