Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Faith 55 55. THOSE WHO ARE IN FAITH SEPARATED FROM CHARITY ARE MEANT BY THE DRAGON IN THE REVELATION It has been said above that in course of time every church falls away into two general religious principles that are evil, one springing from the love of rule, and the other from the conceit of self-intelligence, and that in the Word the former is meant and described by "Babylon," and the la... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=fa§ion=55 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 48 48. VI. THE DUTCH IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD. It was said above (n. 20), that Christians with whom the Word is read and the Lord is worshiped, are in the middle of the nations and people of the whole spiritual world, because the greatest spiritual light is with them, and the light is radiated thence as from a center into all the circumference even to the last boundary; and it enlightens, accord... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=48 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 114 114. IV. EVILS IN THE EXTERNAL, MAN CANNOT BE REMOVED BY THE LORD EXCEPT THROUGH MAN'S INSTRUMENTALITY. In all Christian Churches this tenet of doctrine has been accepted, that before a man approaches the Holy Communion he shall examine himself, see and acknowledge his sins, and do the work of repentance by desisting from them and rejecting them because they are from the devil; and that otherwise... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=114 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 153 153. I have often wondered that although the whole Christian world acknowledges that evils must be shunned as sins, and that otherwise they are not remitted, and unless they are remitted there is no salvation, yet scarcely one in a thousand understands this. Inquiry was made about this in the spiritual world, and it was found to be so. Everyone in the Christian world acknowledges it, from the exho... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=153 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 228 228. No man thus profanes holy things who does not know them; for he who is ignorant of them cannot acknowledge them and afterwards deny them. Therefore those who are outside the Christian world, and who do not know anything about the Lord, and about redemption and salvation by Him, do not profane this holy thing when they do not receive it, or even when they speak against it. Nor do the Jews them... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=228 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 239 239. To these arguments more may be added at this day by which those can still further confirm themselves who think interiorly in favour of nature and human prudence alone. For example: I. The whole Christian world has acknowledged three Gods, not knowing that God is one in Person and in Essence, and that He is the Lord. 2. Hitherto it has not been known that in every particu... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=239 The Book of the Apocalypse Revealed, Uncovering the Secrets That Were Foretold There and Have Lain Hidden until Now 67 67. THE FAITH OF THE NEW HEAVEN AND THE NEW CHURCH, IN ONE UNIVERSAL IDEA, is this, that the Lord from eternity, who is Jehovah, came into the world that He might subjugate the hells, and glorify His Human; and that without this no mortal could be saved; and that they are saved who believe in Him. [2] It is said, in a universal idea, because this is the universal of faith, and the univer... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ar§ion=67 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 255 255. 2. The merely natural man confirms himself against the Divine Providence when he sees that the Mohammedan religion is accepted by so many empires and kingdoms. That this form of religion is accepted by more kingdoms than the Christian religion may be a stumbling-block to those who think about the Divine Providence, and who at the same time believe that no one can be saved unless he has been b... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=255 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 257 257. 4. The merely natural man confirms himself against the Divine Providence because in many kingdoms where the Christian religion is received there are some who claim for themselves Divine power, and desire to be worshipped as gods, and because they invoke the dead. They say, indeed, that they have not arrogated to themselves Divine power, and do not wish* to be worshipped as gods. Yet they say... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=257 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 330 330. In order that it may be apparent how harmful is the belief in predestination as generally understood, these four propositions must be taken up and established. First: Any predestination except to heaven is contrary to the Divine Love, which is infinite. It has been shown in the treatise, THE DIVINE LOVE AND WISDOM, that Jehovah or the Lord is Divine Love, and that the Divine Love is infinite*... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=330 The Book of the Apocalypse Revealed, Uncovering the Secrets That Were Foretold There and Have Lain Hidden until Now 605 605. That he should give them a mark upon their right hand and upon their foreheads, signifies that no one is acknowledged as a Reformed Christian unless he receives that doctrine in faith and love. By "giving a mark" is signified to acknowledge as a Reformed Christian, or of the confession which that doctrine teaches; "a mark" is such acknowledgment and confession; by "th... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ar§ion=605 The Book of the Apocalypse Revealed, Uncovering the Secrets That Were Foretold There and Have Lain Hidden until Now 650 650. Verse 19. And the angel sent his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vineyard of the earth, signifies the end of the present Christian church. By "sending his sickle and gathering," the like is signified as by "sending his sickle and reaping," but the latter is said of a harvest and the former of a vineyard. That "to gather" is to take down the vine and gathe... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ar§ion=650 The Book of the Apocalypse Revealed, Uncovering the Secrets That Were Foretold There and Have Lain Hidden until Now 651 651. And he cast it into the great winepress of the anger of God, signifies exploration of the quality of their works, that they were evil. By "casting the clusters of the vineyard into the winepress," is signified to explore their works, for these are signified by "clusters," as may be seen above (n. 649). But as it is called "the great winepress of the anger of God,"... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ar§ion=651 The Book of the Apocalypse Revealed, Uncovering the Secrets That Were Foretold There and Have Lain Hidden until Now 751 751. Verse 18. And the woman whom thou sawest is the great city, that hath a kingdom over the kings of the earth, signifies that the Roman Catholic religious persuasion as to doctrine reigns in the Christian world, and still also in some respects with the Reformed, although they are not under the papal dominion. That all these things are signified by these words, is because they make the conclusio... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ar§ion=751 The Book of the Apocalypse Revealed, Uncovering the Secrets That Were Foretold There and Have Lain Hidden until Now 801 801. Verse 24. And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all that have been slain upon the earth, signifies that from the religious persuasion, which is meant by "the city Babylon," is the adulteration and profanation of every truth of the Word and thence of the church, and that falsity has emanated therefrom into the whole Christian world. By "blood" is... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ar§ion=801 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 2 2. I once saw an angel flying beneath the eastern heaven, holding in his hand and at his lips a trumpet, which he sounded towards the north, towards the west, and towards the south. He was clad in a robe which streamed behind him as he flew, and was girt about with a sash, flaming and sparkling as though with rubies and sapphires. He flew down and alighted gently upon the earth near where I was st... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=2 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 4 4. The SEVENTH COMPANY, not visible to the others on account of the light, was from the east of heaven. They were angels from the same society whence came the angel of the trumpet. When they heard in their heaven that not a single person in the Christian world knows what the joy of heaven and eternal happiness are, these angels said one to another "This can never be the truth. There cannot be... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=4 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 80 80. The Sixth Memorable Relation: When these words had been spoken, I looked to the border of the west and behold, there appeared pools as though of fire and brimstone, and I asked the angel, "Why do the hells there appear like that?" He answered: "They appear as pools from their falsifications of truth, water in the spiritual sense being truth; and fire, as it... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=80 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 458 458. That this love is the repository of the Christian religion is because that religion makes one with the love, and cohabits with it; for it has been shown that no others come into that love and can be in it save those who approach the Lord, love the truths of His Church, and do its goods (nos. 70, 71); that that love is from the Lord alone, and hence is with those who are of the Christian relig... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=458 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 462 462. CONCUBINAGE In the preceding chapter on fornication, pellicacy also was treated of, and by pellicacy was meant a stipulated conjunction of an unmarried man with a woman. By concubinage is here meant the conjunction of a married man with a woman, likewise stipulated. Those who make no distinction between kinds, use these two words as if they had the same meaning and therefore designated... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=462
