vine truth going forth from the Lord has all
power (n. 6948, 8200). Truth from good has all power in heaven
(n. 3091, 3563, 6344, 6423, 8304, 9643, 10019, 10182). Angels
are called powers, and are powers by the reception of Divine
truth from the Lord (n. 9639). Angels are recipients of Divine
truth from the Lord and therefore in the Word are sometimes
called gods (n. 4295, 4402, 7873, 8192, 8301).

{Footnote 3} The understanding is a recipient of truth, and the
will a recipient of good (n. 3623, 6125, 7503, 9300, 9930).
Therefore all things in the understanding have relation to
truths, whether they are really truths or are believed by man
to be truths, and all things in the will in like manner have
relation to goods (n. 803, 10122).

{Footnote 4} Divine truth going forth from the Lord is the only
real thing (n. 6880, 7004, 8200). By means of Divine truth all
things were created and made (n. 2803, 2884, 5272, 7678).

139.{1} It must be understood that the Divine good and the Divine
truth that are from the Lord as a sun in the heavens are not in the
Lord, but are from the Lord. In the Lord there is only Divine love,
which is the Being [Esse] from which the Divine good and the Divine
truth spring. Outgo [existere] from being [esse] is meant by going
forth [procedere]. This, too, can be made clear by comparison with
the world's sun. The heat and light that are in the world are not in
the sun, but are from the sun. In the sun there is fire only, and it
is from this that heat and light spring and go forth.

{Footnote 1} [There is no n. 138 in the original. -- Editor.]

140. Since the Lord as a sun is Divine love, and Divine love is
Divine good itself, the Divine that goes forth from the Lord, which
is His Divine in heaven, is called, for the sake of distinction,
Divine truth, although it is in fact Divine good united to Divine
truth. This Divine truth is what is called the Holy that goes forth
from Him.

141. XVI. THE FOUR QUARTERS IN HEAVEN.

Both in heaven and in the world there are four quarters, east, south,
west, and north, determined in each world by its own sun; in heaven
by the sun of heaven, which is the Lord, in the world by the sun of
the world. And yet there are great differences between them. In the
first place, in the world that is called the south where the sun is
in its greatest altitude above the earth, north where it is in its
opposite position beneath the ear
