26. These useful functions are provided by the Lord through the union of what is evil and false that prevails among people in hell, since the Lord's rule (which is not only over heaven but also over hell) is a functional rule and the Lord's providence intends that there should be no one and nothing there that does not do some service or enable some service to happen.

29. No one can deny that in God we find love and wisdom together in their very essence. He loves us all out of the love that is within him, and he guides us all out of the wisdom that is within him.

Further, if you look at the created universe with an eye to its design, it is so full of wisdom from love that you might say everything taken all together is wisdom itself. There are things without measure in such a pattern, both sequential and simultaneous, that taken all together they constitute a single entity. This is the only reason they can be held together and sustained forever.
