Such an
effect is produced by the look of the eyes of angels, because the
sight of angels is from the light of heaven, and the light of heaven
is Divine truth (see above, n. 126-132). Moreover, the eyes
correspond to truths from good.{2}
{Footnote 1} All power in heaven is the power of truth from
good, thus of faith from loves (n. 3091, 3563, 6423, 8304,
9643, 10019, 10182). All power is from the Lord, because from
Him is every truth of faith and every good of love (n. 9327,
9410). This power is meant by the keys given to Peter (n.
6344). It is Divine truth going forth from the Lord that has
all power (n. 6948, 8200). This power of the lord is what is
meant by "sitting at the right hand of Jehovah" (n. 3387, 4592,
4933, 7518, 7673, 8281, 9133). The right had means power (n.
10019).
{Footnote 2} The eyes correspond to truths from good
(n. 4403-4421, 4523-4534, 6923).
233. As truths from good have all power, so falsities from evil have
no power at all;{1} and as all in hell are in falsities from evil
they have no power against truth and good. But what power they have
among themselves, and what power evil spirits have before they are
cast into hell, will be told hereafter.
