235. And they had crowns of gold on their heads. This symbolically means, which are truths of wisdom springing from love.

To be shown that a crown symbolizes wisdom, see no. 189 above, and that gold symbolizes the goodness of love, nos. 211, 913. Therefore a crown of gold symbolizes wisdom springing from love.

From that wisdom flow all the constituents of heaven and the church, constituents which are symbolized by the twenty-four elders (no. 233), and therefore crowns of gold were seen on their heads.

It should be known that the spiritual sense is abstracted from persons, as said in nos. 78, 79, 96 above. So also here.
