446. THAT THE ANGELS ARE SUCH THAT THEY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NOTHING WHATEVER, NOT EVEN THE LEAST THING, THAT DOES NOT COME FROM GOD MESSIAH: HENCE WHAT PEACE IS I also experienced when I was writing today, that an angel directed those things that I was writing, and indeed, in such a manner that I thence thought that there was not even the least thing which was not brought about under the auspices and direction of God Messiah, because directed to the best end. From this I could conclude what the angelic [quality] is, and hence what peace is, because there is acquiescence in the single and most single things. 1748, Jan. 5.
