337. THAT THE ANGELS SUPPOSE THAT THEY DO EACH AND ALL THINGS FROM THEMSELVES, NEVERTHELESS THEY HAVE AN INWARD PERCEPTION, AND THUS THEY KNOW, THAT NOTHING IS THEIRS It is marvelous that some are never willing to believe that God Messiah governs all things. This is the case with spirits who are not so evil, as well as with all evil spirits: yet even the angels have no other opinion than that what they do, speak and think is from themselves; for God Messiah so disposes each and all things that He wills nothing to be His, but to be the angels. This may seem marvelous to every one who is without experience of it, but yet it is the truth itself, as the angelic heaven testifies by a perceptible consent. 1747, Dec. 14.
