Heaven and Hell#170
170. Representations and Appearances in Heaven
Anyone who thinks solely from natural light cannot understand that anything in heaven is like anything in our world. This is because such people, on the basis of this light, have both thought and decided that angels are nothing but minds, and that minds are like ethereal breath. This would mean that angels did not have the senses we do, so they would not have eyes; and if they did not have eyes there would be no objects [of sight]. However, angels do have all the senses we do - far more delicate ones, in fact - and the light in which they see is far brighter than the light in which we see.
On angels being people in a most perfect form with the use of all their senses, see 73-77 above; and on light in heaven being far brighter than the light in our world, see 126-132.
Daniel第12章
1
"At that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who shall be found written in the book.
2
Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3
Those who are wise shall shine as the brightness of the expanse; and those who turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.
4
But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run back and forth, and knowledge shall be increased."
5
Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, two others stood, one on the river bank on this side, and the other on the river bank on that side.
6
One said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
7
I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by him who lives forever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
8
I heard, but I didn't understand: then I said, my lord, what shall be the issue of these things?
9
He said, Go your way, Daniel; for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
10
Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but those who are wise shall understand.
11
From the time that the continual [burnt offering] shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred ninety days.
12
Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred thirty-five days.
13
But go you your way until the end; for you shall rest, and shall stand in your lot, at the end of the days.
