106. There is the greatest light in the centre where are the Christians who have the Word; for light in the heavens is Divine Truth proceeding from the Lord as the Sun there; and because the Word is that Truth, the greatest light is where those are who have the Word. Light thence as from its centre spreads around to all the boundaries, even to the outermost; and consequently nations and peoples outside the Church also receive enlightenment through the Word. It may be seen in the work HEAVEN AND HELL Nos. 126-140, that light in the heavens is Divine Truth proceeding from the Lord, and that this light gives intelligence not only to angels but also to men.
