that stood before the throne and the Lamb, were "clothed in white robes." And "white robes were given to every one of them" that were under the altar. Again it is said that the armies which the seer beheld "in heaven" following Him who was "called Faithful and True," and "on whose head were many crowns," were "clothed in fine linen clean and white." And of him "that overcometh" it is said, "the same shall be clothed in white raiment." (Chs, iii., vi., vii., xiii., xiv., xix.)
The testimony of the Bible, therefore, is ample and conclusive on this subject, and in complete accord with that of reason and the disclosures of the illumined Swede.
Then see how intimately these disclosures are connected with the deeper or heavenly meaning of the Scripture, and what light they throw upon many portions of it. For everything that appears in heaven, is in correspondence with something belonging to angelic minds, and is the visible image thereof. And garments, we are told, correspond to spiritual intelligence, and therefore represent the truths or thoughts that clothe the affections of the wearers.
