accordance with their truths, thus in accordance with their
intelligence (n. 165, 5248, 5954, 9212, 9216, 9814, 9952,
10536). The garments of some angels are resplendent, others are
not (n. 5248).

{Footnote 3} In the Word "glistening white" and "white" signify
truth because they are from light in heaven (n. 3301, 3993,
4007).

{Footnote 4} Colors in heaven are variegations of the light
there (n. 1042, 1043, 1053, 1624, 3993, 4530, 4742, 4922).
Colors signify various things pertaining to intelligence and
wisdom (n. 4530, 4677, 4922, 9466). The precious stones in the
Urim and Thummim signified, in accordance with their colors,
all things of truth from good in the heavens (n. 9865, 9868,
9905). So far as colors partake of red they signify good; so
far as they partake of white they signify truth (n. 9466).

{Footnote 5} All in the inmost heavens are innocences, and in
consequence appear naked (n. 154, 165, 297, 2736, 3887, 8375,
9960). Innocence is presented in heaven as nakedness (n. 165,
8375, 9960). To the innocent and the chaste nakedness is no
shame, because without offence (n. 165, 213, 8375).

180. As in heaven the angels are clothed with garments, so when seen
in the world they have appeared clothed with garments, as those seen
by the prophets and those seen at the Lord's sepulchre:

Whose appearance was as lightning, and their garments
glistening and white (Matt. 28:3; Mark 16:5; Luke 24:4;
John 20:12, 13);

and those seen in heaven by John:

Who had garments of fine linen and white (Apoc. 4:4;
19:14).

And because intelligence is from Divine truth:

The garments of the Lord, when He was transfigured, were
radiant and glistening white like the light (Matt. 17:2;
Mark 9:3; Luke 9:29).

As light is Divine truth going forth from the Lord (see above,
n. 129), so in the Word garments signify truths and intelligence
from truths, as in the Apocalypse:

Those that have not defiled their garments shall walk with
Me in white, for they are worthy. He that overcometh shall
be clothed in white garments (3:4, 5);

Blessed is he that is awake and keepeth his garments
(16:15).

And of Jerusalem, which means a church that is in truth,{1} it is
written in Isaiah:

Awake, put on thy strength, O Zion; put on the garments of
thy beauty, O Jerusalem (52:1).

And in Ezekiel:

Jerusalem, I gir
