ETERNAL THINGS RELATE TO SPIRITUAL HONOURS AND WEALTH, WHICH PERTAIN TO LOVE AND WISDOM IN HEAVEN.

But when the natural man sees that the wicked as we... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=216 The Book of the Apocalypse Revealed, Uncovering the Secrets That Were Foretold There and Have Lain Hidden until Now 756 756. And is become the habitation of demons, signifies that their hells are the hells of the lusts of dominion from the heat of the love of self, and of the lusts of profaning the truths of heaven from the spurious zeal of that love.

But demons, like lusts, are of many kinds; but the worst are... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ar§ion=756 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 281 281. IV. THUS THE PERMISSION OF EVIL IS FOR THE SAKE OF THE END, NAMELY, SALVATION.

They spoke first about the beginnings and increments of wisdom, intermingling various... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=18 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 340 340. IV. INSTANTANEOUS SALVATION FROM IMMEDIATE MERCY IS THE FIERY FLYING SERPENT IN THE CHURCH. By this fiery flying serpent is meant evil glowing from infernal fire, the same as is meant by the fiery flying serpent in Isaiah: Rejoice not thou, whole Philistia (A.V. Palestina) because the rod (A.V. of him) that Smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cock... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=340 The Book of the Apocalypse Revealed, Uncovering the Secrets That Were Foretold There and Have Lain Hidden until Now 47 47. Verse 14. And his head, and hairs, were white as wool, like snow, signifies the Divine love of the Divine wisdom in firsts and in ultimates.

Which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt signifies the two infernal loves, which are the love of dominating from self-love, and the love of ruling from the pride of one's own intelligence, which are in the church where one God is not acknowledged, and the Lord is not worshiped, and where they do not live according to the precepts of the Decalogue. By "Sodom," in the spiritual sen... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ar§ion=502 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 229 229. XX. THAT FOR THOSE WHO DESIRE LOVE TRULY CONJUGIAL, THE LORD PROVIDES SIMILITUDES; AND IF NOT GIVEN ON EARTH, HE PROVIDES THEM IN THE HEAVENS. The reason is because all marriages of love truly conjugial are provided by the Lord. That they are from Him may be seen above (nos. 130, 131).

To the above, I will subjoin two Memorable Relations from the spiritual world. First: One morning, looking up to heaven, I beheld above me expanse upon expanse.

Being in the spirit as before, I ac... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=76 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 230 230. XXI. THAT ACCORDING TO THE DEFECT AND LOSS OF CONJUGIAL LOVE, MAN APPROACHES TO THE NATURE OF A BEAST. The reason is, because so far as he is in conjugial love he is spiritual, and so far as he is spiritual he is a man. Man is born for life after death, and he attains that life because within him is a spiritual soul, and to this he can be elevated through the faculty of his understanding.

That the origin of conjugial love is the marriage of good and truth has been demonstrated above in its own chapter (nos. 83-102). It follows from this that the origin of scortatory love is the connubial connection of evil and falsity, an... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=427 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 316 316.
