155. 'These things says He Who has the seven spirits of God, and the seven stars' signifies the Lord from Whom [come] all truths (veritas), and all the cognitions of good and truth. That by 'the seven spirits of God' is understood Divine Truth proceeding from the Lord, or the Divine Truth (veritas), may be seen above (n. 14); and that by 'the seven stars' are understood all the cognitions of good and truth out of the Word (n. 51), out of which cognitions the Church in heaven is [formed] (n. 65). These things are now said by the Lord because it treats of dead worship and living worship; and worship is living as a result of truths and a life in accordance with them.
