The state of the church from the Word thus represented in the Prophets, is what is meant by bearing the iniquities and sins of the people.

Of the prophet Ezekiel: That he brought forth vessels of wandering, and covere... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ld§ion=16 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on the Lord 18 18. THE IMPUTATION OF THE LORD'S MERIT IS NOTHING BUT THE REMISSION OF SINS AFTER REPENTANCE. It is believed in the church that the Lord was sent by the Father to make an atonement for the human race, and that this was effected by His fulfilling the law, and by the passion of the cross; and that in this way He took away condemnation, and made satisfaction; and that without this expiation, sa... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ld§ion=18 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 2 2. But he who thinks in this way does not consider that Jehovah Himself, the God of heaven and earth, spoke the Word through Moses and the prophets, and that it must therefore be Divine truth itself, for what Jehovah Himself speaks can be nothing else.

A religious tenet has prevailed to the effect that no one is able to fulfill the law; the law being not to kill, not to commit adultery, not to steal, and not to bear false witness. Every civic man and moral man is able to fulfill these commandments of the law by a civic and moral life; but this tenet denies that he can do so by a spiritual life; from which it follows that his not doing these... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=lf§ion=63 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 79 79. In many places in the Prophets where the church is treated of, the understanding of the Word is treated of, and it is taught that there is no church except where the Word is rightly understood, and that such as is the understanding of the Word with those in the church, such is the church. In many places also in the Prophets the church with the Israelitish and Jewish nation is described as bein... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=79 Teachings about Life for the New Jerusalem: Drawn from the Ten Commandments 30 30. The Word teaches that in proportion as a man has not been purified from evils, his goods are not good, nor are his pious things pious, and neither is he wise: it also teaches the converse: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchers, which outwardly indeed appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Eve... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=lf§ion=30 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Faith 58 58.

And another sign was seen in heaven and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems. And his t... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=fa§ion=58 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Faith 59 59. The exposition of these words is as follows: "A great sign was seen in heaven," signifies a revelation by the Lord concerning the church to come, and concerning the reception of its doctrine, and those by whom it will be assailed.

I. What is meant by "the former heaven" and "the former earth" which passed away, mentioned in the Apocalypse (21:1) "The former heaven" and "the former earth" there mentioned, does not mean the heaven visible to the eyes of men in the world, nor the earth which is inhabited by men; nor the former heaven, in which all those are who have lived well since t... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=9 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 18 18. All who lived like Christians in externals, and made no account of the Christian life, made one exteriorly with the heavens, but interiorly with the hells, and since they could not be torn away in a moment from their conjunction with heaven, they were detained in the world of spirits, which is midway between heaven and hell, and it was permitted them to form societies, and to live together as... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=18 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 23 23.

It is because the Divine Essence itself is Love and Wisdom that man has two capacities for life; from one of these he has understanding, from the other will.

That they are as if they were produced or created by them is seen by their no lon... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=322 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 427 427. (22) It is the same with charity and faith and their conjunction as with the will and understanding and their conjunction.
