19. After this the angels instructed the new guests about what they had heard and seen, saying, "The things, which you have seen, exhibit in a summary the Coming of the Lord, and the things which will then happen. God, who appeared out of the sun above the cloud, was the Lord our Savior. The bright cloud under Him was the angelic heaven, where the Divine truth was in its own light. The speech of the Lord with the angels there, was inspiration. The trumpets seen in the hands and at the mouths of the angels, were not trumpets, but representations of their speech with one another from inspiration. The dew falling from the cloud upon the earth, and condensing into manna, represented the heavenly affections of the thoughts in their speech. The rain dissolving the manna, that heavenly food, into its original dew, which, absorbed by the earth, distilled through to the dwellers beneath, represented the influx of Divine truth from the Word with the men of the world who go forth and receive it in spirit and heart. The tables and the heaps of books upon them, were not tables nor books, but they were representations of the intentions of the mind, and thence of deeds, according to which the faithful and the unfaithful will be judged. That bright cloud, in which the angels were seen, represented the Divine truths of the Lord with them; for the spheres of thoughts from truths, and of affections from goods, proceeding from the angels, appear everywhere as clouds."
