καὶ εἶδον καὶ ἰδοὺ χεὶρ ἐκτεταμένη πρός με καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ κεφαλὶς βιβλίου
Jonah 1:3
3
καὶ ἀνέστη ιωνας τοῦ φυγεῖν εἰς θαρσις ἐκ προσώπου κυρίου καὶ κατέβη εἰς ιοππην καὶ εὗρεν πλοῖον βαδίζον εἰς θαρσις καὶ ἔδωκεν τὸ ναῦλον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνέβη εἰς αὐτὸ τοῦ πλεῦσαι μετ' αὐτῶν εἰς θαρσις ἐκ προσώπου κυρίου
Heaven and Hell # 126
126. Light and Warmth in Heaven
People who think solely on the basis of nature cannot grasp the fact that there is light in the heavens; yet in the heavens there is so much light that it is vastly greater than noonday light on earth. I have seen it often, even during our evenings and nights. At first I was amazed when I heard angels saying that our world's light was nothing but shadow in comparison to heaven's light, but now that I have seen it, I myself can bear witness. Its brightness and brilliance are beyond description. What I have seen in heaven I have seen in that light, and therefore more clearly and distinctly than what I have seen in this world.
