41. Some, after seeing the Lord, were conducted forward towards the right; and as they advanced they said they could see a much brighter and purer light than ever before, and no greater light could ever be seen. At the time it was evening here. There were many spirits who said this.# # The light in heaven is strong, many times greater than the light of midday on earth (AC 1117, 1521, 1533, 1619-32, 4527, 5400, 8644). All light in the heavens comes from the Lord as the sun there (AC 1053, 1521, 3195, 3341, 3636, 3643, 4415, 9548, 9684, 10809). Divine truth coming forth from the Divine goodness of the Lord's Divine love is visible in the heavens as light, and provides all the light there (AC 3195, 3222, 5400, 8644, 9399, 9548, 9684). The light of heaven enlightens both the sight and the intellect of angels (AC 2776, 3138). Heaven being said to be in light and heat means in possession of wisdom and love (AC 3643, 9399, 9401).
