111. That such is the case can scarcely be comprehended by a natural idea because in that there is [the thought of] space. But it can be comprehended by a spiritual idea because in that there is no [thought of] space. It is this idea that the angels have. But it can be comprehended even by a natural idea that love and wisdom, or what is the same, that the Lord Who is Divine Love and Divine Wisdom cannot advance through spaces, but is with everyone according to reception. That the Lord is present with all, He Himself teaches in Matthew XXVIII 20, and that He makes His abode with those who love Him, John XIV 23.
