33. Since good and truth are one in the Lord and proceed as one from Him, it follows that good loves truth and truth loves good, and that they desire to be one. The like is true of their opposites, that evil loves falsity and falsity evil, and that they desire to be one. In the following pages the conjunction of good and truth will be called the heavenly marriage, and the conjunction of evil and falsity, the infernal marriage.
