Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 101 101. XII BEFORE THE WORD THAT IS NOW IN THE WORLD THERE WAS A WORD WHICH IS LOST From what is related in the books of Moses it is evident that worship by means of sacrifices was known, and that men prophesied from the mouth of Jehovah, before the Word was given to the Israelitish nation through Moses and the prophets. That worship by means of sacrifices was known is evid... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=101 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 23 23. The reason why, in ancient times, the idolatries of the nations originated from the knowledge of correspondences, was that all things visible on the earth have a correspondence; not only trees, but also beasts and birds of every kind, and likewise fishes, and all other things. The ancients, possessing a knowledge of correspondences, made for themselves images that corresponded to heavenly thin... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=23 Teachings about Life for the New Jerusalem: Drawn from the Ten Commandments 74 74. IN PROPORTION AS ANY ONE SHUNS ADULTERIES OF EVERY KIND AS SINS, IN THE SAME PROPORTION HE LOVES CHASTITY. To "commit adultery," as mentioned in the sixth (or as it is usually called, the seventh) commandment, means, in the natural sense, not only to commit whoredom, but also to do obscene things, to speak lascivious things, and to think about filthy things. But in the spiritua... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=lf§ion=74 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. The "woman encompassed with the sun, and the moon under her feet," signifies a church that is in love and in faith from the Lord; "and upon... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=fa§ion=59 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 3 3. It is a common opinion in the Christian world, that the whole heaven we see, and the whole earth inhabited by men will perish at the day of the Last Judgment, and that a new heaven and a new earth will exist in their places; that the souls of men will then receive their bodies, and that man will thus again be man as before.

I pass over paradoxes, similar to, and equally numerous with these, which the man who does not know that he is a man after death as before, must think concerning the destruction of the universe. But when he knows that a man after death is not an exhalation or a wind, but a spirit, and if he has lived well, an angel in heaven, and that spirits and angels are men in a perfect form, can then think... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=5 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 12 12. V. Hence it is, that after the Last Judgment has been accomplished, and not before, revelations were made for the New Church. For since communication has been restored by the Last Judgment, man can be enlightened and reformed; that is, can understand the Divine truth of the Word, receive it when understood, and retain it when received, for the interposing obstacles are removed; and therefore J... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=12 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 14 14. III. THE LAST JUDGMENT UPON THE REFORMED. In the former small work on The Last Judgment it treated of the judgment upon those who are meant by Babylon; and something of the judgment upon the Mohammedans and upon the Gentiles; but not of the judgment upon the Reformed. It was said only, that the Reformed were in the middle, arranged there according to countries; the Papists around them;... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=14 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 20 20. The Reformed constitute the inmost or middle part of the world of spirits, which is midway between heaven and hell, and are there arranged according to countries. In the center of this middle region are the English; towards the south and the east of it are the Dutch; towards the north, the Germans; towards the west and the north, the Swedes; and towards the west, the Danes. But those only who... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=20 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 25 25. These changes of their state were accompanied by various concussions of their dwellings and lands; which were followed by earthquakes, mighty according to their perversions. Here and there, too, chasms were made towards the hells which were under them, and a communication was thus opened with them. Exhalations were then seen ascending like smoke mingled with sparks of fire. These also were sig... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=25 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 69 69. Since religion makes man's inmost, and all the rest proceeds from the inmost, and since Mohammed is closely connected with their religion, therefore some Mohammed is always placed in their sight; and in order that they may turn their faces to the east, above which the Lord is, he is placed beneath in the Christian center. It is not the Mohammed himself who wrote the Koran, but another who fill... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=69 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 76 76. Such being the character of the Africans even in the world, there is, at the present day, a revelation with them, which commencing in the center, is communicated around, but does not reach the seas. They acknowledge our Lord as the God of heaven and earth, and laugh at the monks in those parts they visit, and at the Christians who talk of a three-fold Divinity, and of salvation by mere thinkin... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=76 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 11 11. GOD IS VERY MAN. In all the heavens there is no other idea of God than that He is a Man. This is because heaven as a whole and in part is in form like a man, and because it is the Divine which is with the angels that constitutes heaven and inasmuch as thought proceeds according to the form of heaven, it is impossible for the angels to think of God in any other way. From this it is that a... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=11 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 71 71.

The First Arcanum is that the Word is in its fullness and in its power in the sense of the letter. For there are three senses in the Word, according to the three degrees; the celestial sense, the spiritual sense, and the natural sense. Since these senses are in the Word according to the thr... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=221 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 1 1.

Many, however, especially those who have confirmed themselves in a faith separated from charity, do not know that they are in hell when they are in evils. They do not even know what evils are, because they give no thought to them. They say that they are not under the yoke of the law, and so the law does not condemn them. They say, moreover, that because they cannot contribute anything to thei... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=101 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 106 106. II. THE EXTERNAL OF MAN'S THOUGHT IS IN ITSELF OF THE SAME NATURE AS ITS INTERNAL. It has been shown above that man from head to foot is of the same character as his life's love.

If he looks at natural things he sees it; if he looks at civil matters he sees it; if he looks at spiritual things he sees it; and this in things both in their simultaneous and in their su... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=189 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 114 114.
