ness shall be peace; and My people
shall dwell in a habitation of peace (Isa. 32:17, 18).

[2] That it is Divine and heavenly peace that is meant in the Word by
"peace" can be seen also from other passages where it is mentioned
(As Isa. 52:7; 54:10; 59:8; Jer. 16:5; 25:37; 29:11; Hag. 2:9; Zech.
8:12; Psalm 37:37; and elsewhere.) Because "peace" means the Lord and
heaven, and also heavenly joy and the delight of good, "Peace be with
you" was an ancient form of salutation that is still in use; and it
was ratified by the Lord in His saying to the disciples whom He sent
forth:

Into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to
this house; and if a son of peace be there, your peace
shall rest upon it (Luke 10:5, 6).

And when the Lord Himself appeared to the apostles, He said

Peace be with you (John 20:19, 21, 26).

[3] A state of peace is also meant in the Word where it is said that:

Jehovah smelled an odor of rest (as Exod. 29:18, 25, 41;
Lev. 1:9, 13, 17; 2:2, 9; 6:8, 14; 23:12, 13, 18; Num,
15:3, 7, 13; 28:6, 8, 13; 29:2, 6, 8, 13, 36).

"Odor of rest" in the heavenly sense signifies a perception of
peace.{1} As peace signifies the union of the Divine Itself and the
Divine Human in the Lord, also the conjunction of the Lord with
heaven and with the church, and with all who are in heaven, and with
all in the church who receive Him, so the Sabbath was instituted as a
reminder of these things, its name meaning rest or peace, and was the
most holy representative of the church. For the same reason the Lord
called Himself "the Lord of the Sabbath" (Matt. 12:8; Mark 2:27, 28;
Luke 6:5).{2}

{Footnote 1} In the word an "odor" signifies the perception of
agreeableness or disagreeableness, according to the quality of
the love and faith of which it is predicated (n. 3577, 4626,
4628, 4748, 5621, 10292). An "odor of rest," in reference to
Jehovah, means a perception of peace (n. 925, 10054). This is
why frankincense, incense, and odors in oils and ointments,
became representative (n. 925, 4748, 5621, 10177).

{Footnote 2} The "Sabbath" signifies in the highest sense the
union of the Divine Itself and the Divine Human in the Lord; in
the internal sense the conjunction of the Divine Human of the
Lord with heaven and with the church; in general, the
conjunction of good and truth, thus the heavenly marriage (n.
8495, 10356, 10730). Therefore "rest on t
