I have listened to angels talking to one another about the Lord's Providence, but although I did indeed understand what they said, little of it can be described because, tied up constantly with their
conversations, there were heavenly representations, which for the most part are indescribable. They spoke with wisdom, saying that the Lord's Providence is present in the most specific details of all
that takes place, though He does not act according to any plan such as man sets before himself, because He both foresees and makes provision for things to come. It is, the angels said, like someone who
builds a palace. He first amasses materials of every kind and piles them in heaps, where they lie in no order at all; and what the palace made from them is to be like exists solely in the mind of the
architect.
