Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

296. THERE ARE IN THE LORD THREE THINGS WHICH ARE THE LORD, THE DIVINE OF LOVE, THE DIVINE OF WISDOM, AND THE DIVINE OF USE. AND THESE THREE ARE PRESENTED IN APPEARANCE OUTSIDE THE SUN OF THE SPLRITUAL WORLD, THE DIVINE OF LOVE BY HEAT, THE DIVINE OF WISDOM BY LIGHT, AND THE DIVINE OF USE BY THE ATMOSPHERE WHICH IS THEIR CONTAINANT

That heat and light go forth from the Sun of the spiritual world, and that heat goes forth from the Lord's Divine Love, and light (lux) from His Divine Wisdom, may be seen above (n. 89-92, 99-102, 104-150). It will here be shown that the third which goes forth from the Sun there, is the atmosphere which is the containant of heat and light, and that this goes forth out of the Lord's Divine which is called Use.
