Genesis 1:16

Study

       

16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

From Swedenborg's Works

 

Apocalypse Revealed #415

Study this Passage

  
/ 962  
  

415. And I looked, and I heard an angel flying in the midst of heaven. (8:13) This symbolizes instruction and prediction from the Lord.

In the highest sense an angel means the Lord, and so also something from the Lord (no. 344). And to fly in the midst of heaven and speak means, symbolically, to perceive and understand, and when said of the Lord, to foresee and provide (no. 245). But here it means to instruct and predict.
