About this Quote

This quote by Emanuel Swedenborg speaks with the idea that angels are the collective force that make up heaven. Paradise is not just a physical location, but rather a spiritual realm that is developed by the presence of the Divine. The Divine is the energy that streams from the Lord and is gotten by the angels. This energy is what creates the spiritual world of paradise and permits it to exist. The angels are the cumulative force that comprise heaven and are the ones who get the Divine energy from the Lord. This energy is what provides their power and permits them to exist in the spiritual world of paradise. The quote talks to the concept that the angels are the cumulative force that comprise paradise and that the Divine energy from the Lord is what provides their power and permits them to exist in the spiritual world.
