Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 382 382. [a.] In the inmost heaven there is genuine marriage love because the angels there are in the marriage of good and truth, and also in innocence. The angels of the lower heavens are also in marriage love, but only so far as they are in innocence; for marriage love viewed in itself is a state of innocence; and this is why consorts who are in the marriage love enjoy heavenly delights together, wh... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=382 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 481 481. (iii) The man who has heavenly and spiritual love goes to heaven; while the man who has corporeal and worldly love and no heavenly and spiritual love goes to hell. This has been made evident to me from all whom I have seen taken up into heaven or cast into hell. The life of those taken up into heaven had been derived from a heavenly and spiritual love, while the life of those cast into hell h... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=481 Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell - From Things Heard and Seen 583 583. The heavens are in the higher parts of the spiritual world, the world of spirits in the lower parts, and under both are the hells. The heavens are visible to spirits in the world of spirits only when their interior sight is opened; although they sometimes see them as mists or as bright clouds. This is because the angels of heaven are in an interior state in respect to intelligence and wisdom;... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=hh§ion=583 The New Jerusalem and Its Heavenly Teaching - From Things Heard from Heaven: Preceded by a Discussion of the New Heaven and the New Earth 49 49. Of the light of heaven in which the spiritual man is. There is great light in the heavens (n. 1117, 1521, 1533, 1619-1632). The light in the heavens exceeds the meridian light on earth by many degrees (n. 1117, 1521, 4527, 5400, 8644). That light has been often seen by me (n. 1522, 4527, 7174). The light which the angels of the inmost or third heaven have is as the light from the sun, but the... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=njhd§ion=49 The White Horse in Revelation Chapter 19; and the Word and Its Spiritual Sense (from Mysteries of Heaven) 3 3. That a horse signifies the understanding, is from no other source than from the representatives in the spiritual world. In that world horses are frequently seen, and persons sitting upon horses, and also chariots; and there everyone knows that they signify intellectual and doctrinal things. I have often observed, when any were thinking from their understanding, that at such times they appeared... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=wh§ion=3 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 44 44. The truths and goods of the sense of the letter of the Word are meant by the Urim and Thummim.

The ephod represented Divine truth in its ultimate, thus the Word in the s... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=44 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 73 73. The angels acknowledge that all their wisdom comes through the Word, for they are in light in proportion to their understanding of the Word. The light of heaven is Divine wisdom, which to their eyes is light. In the sanctuary where the copy of the Word is kept, there is a flaming and bright light that surpasses every degree of light in heaven that is outside of it. The cause is the same as abo... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=73 Teachings about Life for the New Jerusalem: Drawn from the Ten Commandments 55 55. That they were most holy is evident from the fact that Jehovah Himself (that is, the Lord) came down upon Mount Sinai in fire, and with angels, and promulgated them from it by a living voice, and that the people had prepared themselves for three days to see and to hear; that the mountain was fenced about lest anyone should go near it and should die; that neither were the priests nor the elders... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=lf§ion=55 Teachings about Life for the New Jerusalem: Drawn from the Ten Commandments 59 59. What has been said above (n. 51) respecting the promulgation, holiness, and power of that Law, will be found in the following places in the Word: That Jehovah came down on Mount Sinai in fire, and that the mountain smoked and quaked, and that there were thunderings, lightnings, and a thick cloud, and the voice of a trumpet (Exod. 19:16, 18; Deut. 4:11; 5:22-26). That before the d... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=lf§ion=59 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Faith 29 29. Be it known however that it is knowledges[cognitiones] of genuine truth and good that constitute faith, and by no means knowledges of what is false, for faith is truth (as before said, n. 5-11), and as falsity is the opposite of truth, it destroys faith. Neither can charity come forth into being where there are nothing but falsities, for (as before said, n. 18) charity and faith make a one jus... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=fa§ion=29 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 28 28. The Lord was seen in a bright cloud with angels, and a sound as of trumpets was heard from it; which was a sign representative of the protection of the angels of heaven by the Lord, and of the gathering of the good from every side. For the Lord does not bring destruction upon anyone, but only protects His own, and draws them away from communication with the evil; and when they are withdrawn, t... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=28 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 245 245. The nature of the influx of light into the three degrees of life in man which belong to his mind, shall now be shown. The forms which are receptacles of heat and light, that is, of love and wisdom in man, and which (as was said) are in threefold order or of three degrees, are transparent from birth, transmitting spiritual light as crystal glass transmits natural light; consequently in respect... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=245 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 363 363. (1) Love and wisdom, and will and understanding therefrom, make the very life of man. Scarcely any one knows what life is. When one thinks about life, it seems as if it were a fleeting something, of which no distinct idea is possible. It so seems because it is not known that God alone is life, and that His life is Divine Love and Divine Wisdom. From this it is evident that in man life is noth... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=363 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 136 136. III. NO ONE IS REFORMED BY THREATS AND PUNISHMENTS, BECAUSE THEY COMPEL. It is well known that the external cannot compel the internal, but that the internal can compel the external. It is also well known that the internal is so averse to compulsion by the external that it turns itself away. Further, it is known that external delights allure the internal to consent and love; and it may also b... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=136 The Book of the Apocalypse Revealed, Uncovering the Secrets That Were Foretold There and Have Lain Hidden until Now 24 24.

It is called "the morning star" because intelligence and wisdom will be given them by... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ar§ion=151 The Book of the Apocalypse Revealed, Uncovering the Secrets That Were Foretold There and Have Lain Hidden until Now 312 312. And I saw, and behold, a black horse, signifies the understanding of the Word destroyed as to truth, thus as to doctrine with these. That "a horse" signifies the understanding of the Word, was shown above; the reason why "black" signifies what is not true, thus falsity, is because black is the opposite of white, and white is predicated of truth (n. 167, 231, 232); white al... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ar§ion=312 The Book of the Apocalypse Revealed, Uncovering the Secrets That Were Foretold There and Have Lain Hidden until Now 523 523.
