125. This enables us to see in clearer light the things that have been presented in the earlier chapters about the Lord, namely that he is the God of heaven (2-6), that his divine nature makes heaven (7-12), that the divine nature of the Lord in heaven is love for him and thoughtfulness toward our neighbor (13-19), that there is a correspondence of everything in our world with heaven, and through heaven with the Lord (87-115), and that the sun of our world and its moon are correspondent entities (105).
