"The garments of angels are real garments, visible and palpable; they even
change them, not on account of their wearing out, but because angels change
in station, and the Lord dresses them according to their present manner of
being. I have myself a thousand times seen them in garments different from
those in which I had seen them previously... "
The angels live among themselves as men live on earth; they have lodgings and houses, more or less magnificent according to the rank of each. I have sometimes conversed with angels concerning this; they told me they were greatly surprised that those who gave themselves out as being learned, and were reputed as such in the Church and the world were as ignorant as they are concerning this matter, after having heard from Jesus Christ himself that in his Father's house there are many mansions.
"I know from my own experience what I have called angels' dwellings, for every time I have spoken with them, I have done so in their quarters and I have found these similar to the habitations of men on earth: but nevertheless far more beautiful. In them are seen porticoes, courtyards, vestibules, antechambers, bedrooms, living-rooms, halls, flower beds, gardens, orchards and fields."
(Emmanuel Swedenborg, The Marvels of Heaven and Hell) "
Note. – The reason Milton wrote in fetters when he wrote of Angels & God, and at liberty when of Devils and Hell, is because he was a true Poet and of the Devil's Party without knowing it." (William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.)
