476. And make their robes white in the blood of the Lamb.- This signifies the implantation of Divine Truth from the Lord, as is evident from the signification of making their robes white, as denoting to put off falsities and to put on truths, for white, and to whiten are said in reference to truths, which are signified by robes. That white, and to whiten, are said in reference to truths, may be seen above (n. Doctrine of the New Jerusalem 293, 294); and in the passages cited therein from the Arcana Coelestia. The same is also evident from this fact, that the garments of the angels appear to shine with a white and bright appearance, not from faith and from thought concerning the blood of the Lord [shed] upon the cross, but from the Divine Truth from the Lord with the angels. For, as stated above, all their garments accord with the truths which they have, neither is any angel allowed to think of the passion of the Lord, but of His glorification, and of the reception of the Divine from Him.
476. And have made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb, signifies the implantation of Divine truth from the Lord. This is evident from the signification of "making robes white," as meaning to put off falsities and to put on truths, for "white" and "to be made white," are predicated of truths, and these are signified by "robes." (That "white" and "to be made white," are predicated of truths, see above, n. The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem 293-294.)
476. "Et dealbaverunt stolas suas in sanguine Agni." - Quod significet implantationem Divini Veri a Domino, constat ex significatione "dealbare stolas", quod sit exuere falsa et induere vera, "album" enim et "albari" praedicatur de veris, ac "stolae" significant illa: (quod "album" et "albari" dicatur de veris, videatur supra, n. 196; et quod "stolae" significent vera in communi, etiam supra, n. 395 [a]): ("dealbare stolas" dicitur, quia vestes illorum qui in falsis sunt, in mundo spirituali apparent obscurae et quoque maculosae, et vestes illorum qui in tentationibus sunt apparent squallidae; at vero ut primum ex tentationibus emergunt, quia tunc imbuti sunt Divinis veris, apparent super illis vestes albae et candidae absque maculis, ut quoque mox supra memoratum est; inde est quod per "Dealbaverunt stolas suas" significatur quod exuerint falsa et induerint vera): et ex significatione "sanguinis Agni", quod sit Divinum Verum procedens a Domino (de qua supra, n. 329 [a-f]): et quia in tentationibus discutiuntur falsa et implantantur vera, ideo in genere per "Dealbarunt stolas suas in sanguine Agni" significatur implantatio Divini Veri a Domino. In sensu litterae Verbi, per "sanguinem Agni" intelligitur passio crucis; sed in sensu interno seu spirituali intelligitur Divinum Verum procedens a Domino, nam per hoc purificatur homo a falsis et malis, hoc est, "dealbantur vestes." Passio crucis fuit ultima tentatio Domini, per quam plene subjugavit inferna et glorificavit Humanum suum; quibus peractis et completis Dominus misit Paracletum Spiritum Veritatis, per quem intelligitur Divinum Verum procedens ex Humano Ipsius glorificato (ut Ipse docet apud Johannem, cap. 7:39, et alibi); per hoc, nempe Divinum Verum, dum recipitur, reformatur et regeneratur homo a Domino et salvatur, non autem per emissionem sanguinis super cruce. (De qua re plura videantur in Doctrina Novae Hierosolymae, n. 293, 294; et in Collectis ex Arcanis Caelestibus ibi.) Hoc quoque constare potest ex eo, quod vestes angelorum ex albo et candido nitentes appareant non ex fide et cogitatione de sanguine Domini super cruce, sed ex Divino Vero a Domino apud illos; nam, ut supra dictum est, vestes illorum sunt omnes secundum vera apud illos; nec licet alicui angelo cogitare de passione Domini, sed de glorificatione Ipsius, et de receptione Divini ab Ipso.
