1531. That I might be confirmed in the truth that the Lord appears to the celestial angels as a Sun, and to the spiritual angels as a Moon, my interior sight was of the Lord's Divine mercy so far opened that I plainly saw the Moon shining, which was encompassed by a number of smaller moons, the light of which was almost solar, according to the words in Isaiah:

The light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun (Isa. 30:26). But it was not granted me to see the Sun. The Moon appeared in front, to the right.
