2320. Why there should here be only two angels, seeing that there were three men with Abraham, is an arcanum which cannot be set forth in few words. It can in some measure be seen from the fact that in this chapter Judgment is treated of, namely, the salvation of the faithful, and the condemnation of the unfaithful; and it is evident from the Word that Judgment belongs to the Lord’s Divine Human and Holy proceeding. That it belongs to the Divine Human see in John: “The Father judgeth not anyone, but hath given all judgment unto the Son” (John 5:22); by the “Son” is meant the Divine Human (see n. 2159). That Judgment belongs to the Holy that proceeds from the Lord’s Divine Human, see also in John: “If I go away, I will send the Comforter unto you; and when He is come, He shall reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment” (John 16:7-8); and that the Holy proceeds from the Lord, see in the same: “He shall not speak from Himself but shall take of Mine, and shall declare it” (John 16:13, 15); and this when the Human was made Divine, that is, when the Lord had been glorified, see in the same: “The Holy Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified” (John 7:39).
