826. [verse 14] 'And the armies in heaven were following Him upon white horses, clothed with fine linen white and clean' signifies the angels in the Christian New Heaven who were conjoined with the Lord in the interior understanding of the Word, and were thus in pure and genuine truths. By' the armies in heaven' are understood the angels who are in Divine truths and goods (n. 447). By 'heaven' here is understood the Christian New Heaven treated of above (n. 612, 613, 626, 659, 661). This heaven is understood for the reason that this is the New Heaven that is treated of in the Apocalypse. By 'to follow the Lord' is signified to be conjoined to Him. (n. 621). By the 'white horses' upon which they were appearing are signified the interior understanding of the Word, as above (n. 820). By 'fine linen white and clean' is signified pure and genuine truth by means of the Word from the Lord (n. 814). It is also said of the New Church that she should be 'arrayed with fine linen clean and bright' (verse 8 of this chapter); and so it is said here of the Christian New Heaven by means of which that Church will exist from the Lord.
