1926. That 'the angel of Jehovah' here is the interior thought which came from the Lord's Internal is clear, as stated, from the train of thought. Here the term interior is used to mean that with the Lord which was united to Jehovah, or His Internal. Union was not accomplished all at once but step by step, that is to say, from earliest childhood through to the last stage of His life in the world, above all by means of temptations and victories. Each temptation and victory brought about union and to the extent He united Himself with His Internal or Jehovah, thought became more interior, and intellectual truth more united to Divine Good. It is the thought such as this that is meant by interior thought flowing from the Lord's Internal and that is specifically represented and meant here by 'the angel of Jehovah'.

308. All good and truth are from the Lord.

The Lord is good itself and truth itself (n. 2011, 5110, 10336, 10619). All good and truth, consequently all peace, innocence, love, charity, and faith, are from the Lord (n. 1614, 2016, 2751, 2882-2883, 2891-2892, 2904). And all wisdom and intelligence are from Him (n. 109, 112, 121, 124). Nothing but good comes from the Lord, but the evil turn the good which is from the Lord into evil (n. 7643, 7679, 7710, 8632). The angels know that all good and truth are from the Lord, but the evil are not willing to know this (n. 6193, 9128). The angels at the presence of the Lord are more in good, but the infernals at the presence of the Lord are more in evils (n. 7989). The evil cast themselves into hell at the mere presence of the Lord (n. 8137, 8265). The Lord judges all from good (n. 2335). The Lord regards all from mercy (n. 223). The Lord is never angry with anyone, nor does evil to anyone, and does not send anyone to hell (n. 245, 1683, 2335, 8632). In what sense those parts of the Word are to be understood, where it is said that Jehovah or the Lord is angry, that He kills, that He casts into hell, and other things of the like nature (n. 592, 696, 1093, 1874-1875, 2395, 2447, 3605, 3607, 3614, 6071, 6997).

3339. In the next life those forms of light, and also those forms of warmth, manifest themselves visually. Angels live within the light of heaven and also within the warmth that has been spoken of. From that light they receive intelligence, and from that warmth the affection for good. Indeed the forms of light seen with their external sight have their origin in the Lord's Divine wisdom, and the forms of warmth which are also felt by them have their origin in the Lord's Divine love. To the extent therefore that spirits and angels possess intelligence in truth and affection for good they are closer to the Lord.
