| Heaven and Hell 287 |
[T]he Lord is called "the Prince of peace", and He declares that from Him is peace and in Him is peace. The angels are called angels of peace, and heaven is called a habitation of peace. |
| Apocalypse Explained 365:14, 20 |
Peace viewed in itself is not heaven and heavenly joy, but these are in peace and from peace. For peace is like the dawn or like spring-time in the world, which dispose human minds to receive in the heart delights and pleasures from the objects that appear before the eyes, for that is what makes them delightful and pleasant.... "Peace" stands for heavenly blessedness, happiness, and delight, and as these are granted only with those that love to do the Lord's commandments it is said, "Much peace have they who love Thy law." |
| Psalm 72:3 |
The mountains will bring peace to the people,
And the little hills, by righteousness. |
| Apocalypse Explained 365 |
This treats of the Lord's coming and His kingdom. The "mountains which shall bear peace to the people" symbolize love to the Lord. The "hills in righteousness" symbolize charity towards the neighbor. This makes clear that "peace" means heavenly joy which is from the conjunction with the Lord by love.... Peace is bliss of heart and soul arising from the Lord's conjunction with heaven and with the church, and this from the conjunction of good and truth with those who are therein. Consequently there is no longer combat of evil and falsity against good and truth, or no dissension or war in a spiritual sense. From this is peace, in which all the fructification of good and the multiplication of truth takes place, and thence comes all wisdom and intelligence. And as this peace is from the Lord alone, and from Him with the angels in heaven, and with people in the church, so "peace" in the highest sense means the Lord, and in a relative sense, heaven and the church, and thus good conjoined to truth with those who are there. |
