17:2).
And His garments became shining, exceeding white as snow,
so as no fuller on earth can whiten them (Mark 9:3; Matt.
17:2).
The Lord's garments had this appearance because they represented
Divine truth which is from Him in the heavens, "garments" also in the
Word signifying truths,{1} consequently it is said in David:
O Jehovah, Thou coverest Thyself with light as with a
garment (Psalm 104:2).
{Footnote 1} In the Word "garments" signify truths, because
truths clothe good (n. 1073, 2576, 5248, 5319, 5954, 9216,
9952, 10536). The Lord's garments when He was transfigured
signified Divine truth going forth from His Divine love (n.
9212, 9216).
130. That light in the heavens is spiritual and that this light is
Divine truth may be inferred also from the fact that men as well as
angels have spiritual light, and have enlightenment from that light
so far as they are in intelligence and wisdom from Divine truth.
Man's spiritual light is the light of his understanding, and the
objects of that light are truths, which he arranges analytically into
groups, forms into reason, and from them draws conclusions in
series.
