signified the state of that union, because then the Lord had
rest, and thereby there is peace and salvation in the heavens
and on the earth; and in a relative sense it signified the
conjunction of the Lord with man, because man then has peace
and salvation (n. 8494, 8510, 10360, 10367, 10370, 10374,
10668, 10730).

288. Because the peace of heaven is the Divine inmostly affecting
with blessedness the veriest good in angels, it can be clearly
perceived by them only in the delight of their hearts when they are
in the good of their life, in the pleasure with which they hear truth
that agrees with their good, and in gladness of mind when they
perceive the conjunction of good and truth. From this it flows into
all the acts and thoughts of their life, and there presents itself as
joy, even in outward appearance. [2] But peace in the heavens differs
in quality and quantity in agreement with the innocence of those who
are there; since innocence and peace walk hand in hand; for every
good of heaven, as said above, is from innocence, and every delight
of that good is from peace. Evidently, then, the same that has been
said in the foregoing chapter about the state of innocence in the
heavens may be said here of the state of peace there, since innocence
and peace are conjoined like good and its delight; for good is felt
in its delight, and delight is known from its good. This being so, it
is evident that angels of the inmost or third heaven are in the third
or inmost degree of peace, because they are in the third or inmost
degree of innocence; and that angels of the lower heavens are in a
less degree of peace, because they are in a less degree of innocence
(see above n. 280). [3] That innocence and peace go together like
good and its delight can be seen in little children, who are in peace
because they are in innocence, and because they are in peace are in
their whole nature full of play. Yet the peace of little children is
external peace; while internal peace, like internal innocence, is
possible only in wisdom, and for this reason only in the conjunction
of good and truth, since wisdom is from that conjunction. Heavenly or
angelic peace is also possible in men who are in wisdom from the
conjunction of good and truth, and who in consequence have a sense of
content in God; nevertheless, while they live in the world this peace
lies hidden in their interiors, but it is revealed when they leave
the body
