415. [verse 13] 'And I saw and heard one angel flying in the midst of heavens signifies instruction and prediction by the Lord. By an 'angel' in the highest sense is understood the Lord, and consequently also anything from the Lord (n. 344); and by 'to fly in the midst of heaven and to say' is signified to perceive and understand, and when [this is said] of the Lord, to foresee and provide (n. 245), but here to instruct and predict.
