1531. To confirm for me the fact that the Lord appears to celestial angels as the Sun and to spiritual angels as the Moon, my interior sight was in the Lord's Divine mercy opened to the point where I saw plainly a shining Moon surrounded by a number of smaller moons. Their light amounted almost to that of the sun, in accordance with the words in Isaiah,

The light of the moon will be as the light of the sun. Isaiah 30:26.

But I was not allowed to behold the Sun. The Moon appeared in front of me to the right.
