188. Angeli, ex quibus regnum caeleste Domini, habitant ut plurimum in editioribus locis, quae apparent sicut montes ex humo: angeli, ex quibus regnum spirituale Domini, habitant in minus editis locis, quae apparent sicut colles: angeli autem, qui in infimis caeli, habitant in locis quae apparent sicut petrae ex saxis. Haec quoque existunt ex correspondentia nam interiora correspondent superioribus, et exteriora inferioribus. 1 Ex eo est, quod "montes" in Verbo significent amorem caelestem, "colles" amorem spiritualem, et "petrae" fidem. 2

Footnotes:

1. [Swedenborg's footnote] Quod in Verbo interiora exprimantur per superiora, et quod superiora significent interiora (2148, 3084, 4599, 5146, 8325). Quod "altum" significet internum, et quoque caelum (1735, 2148, 4210, 4599, 8153).

2. [Swedenborg's footnote] Quod in caelo appareant montes, colles, petrae, valles, terrae, prorsus sicut in mundo (10608).

Quod super montibus habitent angeli qui in bono amoris, super collibus qui in bono charitatis, super petris qui in bono fidei (10438).

Quod ideo per montes in Verbo significetur bonum amoris (795, 4210, 6435, 8327, 8758, 10438, 10608).

Per "colles" bonum charitatis (6435, 10438).

Per "petras" bonum et verum fidei (8581, 10580).

Quod "lapis," ex quo petra similiter significet verum fidei (114, 643, 1298, 3720, 6426, 8608 [8609?] 10376).

Inde est quod per "montes" significetur caelum (8327, 8805, 9420).

Et per "cacumen montis" supremum caeli (9422, 9434, 10608). Quod ideo antiqui cultum sanctum habuerint super montibus (796, 2722).

8609. ‘Et sumpserunt lapidem’: quod significet verum Divinum in ultimo ordinis, constat ex significatione ‘lapidis’ quod sit verum, n. 643, 1298, 3720, 3769, 1 3771, 3789, 3798, 6426, hic verum in ultimo ordinis, quia positus subter illum et sedit super illo; lapis vulgaris 2 etiam 3 significat verum inferius, lapis autem pretiosus verum superius seu interius. Quid verum in ultimo ordinis, constare potest ex illis quae de veris in 4 ordine successivo supra n. 8603 dicta sunt, quod nempe sint vera interiora et vera exteriora; quae ultima sunt intelliguntur per vera in ultimo ordinis.
