252. Since the Word is a revelation from the Divine, it is Divine in each and all things; for what is from the Divine cannot be otherwise. What is from the Divine descends to man through the heavens; wherefore in the heavens it is accommodated to the wisdom of the angels who are there, and on earth it is accommodated to the comprehension of the men who are there. On this account there is in the Word an internal sense which is spiritual, for the angels; and an external sense which is natural, for men. Hence it is that the conjunction of heaven with man is through the Word.
