689. Verse 7. And I heard another out of the altar saying, Lord God Almighty; true and just are Thy judgments, signifies the Divine good of the Word confirming that Divine truth. By "another" (namely an angel), is signified the Divine good of the Word; by "an angel" is signified the Divine from the Lord (n. 415, 631, 633); and by an angel out of the altar is signified the Divine good of love (n. 648); here, the Divine good of the Word, because the Word still continues to be treated of, and because by "the angel of the waters" is signified the Divine truth of the Word (n. 685). Now, since the Divine good of the Word and the Divine truth of the Word make one, therefore the signification of what was spoken by the angel of the waters is similar to that which was spoken by the angel out of the altar; for the angel of the waters said, "Thou art just, O Lord, Who art, and Who wast, and art holy, because Thou hast judged these things;" but the angel out of the altar said, "Yea, Lord God Almighty; true and just are Thy judgments." Both these expressions have a similar signification, but with this difference, that one spoke from truth, and the other from good, and one confirmed what the other spoke, but by different words; one by words which belong to the class of truth, and the other by words which belong to the class of good; for there is a marriage of truth and good in every particular of the Word (n. 97), and there are words which relate to good, and words which relate to truth, which seem different, but nevertheless involve things which are similar.
