I spoke with angels about the life of the Lord's Word, namely that in the highest level of meaning of the Word of the Lord is the Lord Himself. In the universal meaning below the Lord is the universal heaven, that of angels and of good spirits. In the still lower meaning taken most broadly is the Church of the Lord throughout the whole globe, from the first creation to the very last times. In a less broad meaning [the Word] concerns the Church instructed in all the various doctrines. In a meaning still less broad it concerns the innermost Church in all countries. In a still lower level of meaning it concerns the individual person in particular. In the most particular meaning it concerns every point of belief. In the abstract meaning it concerns heavenly, spiritual, rational matters, wisdom, intelligence, and so on. 1748, 5 July. Such as the subject is, so are its predicates.
