From this the state of their wisdom was rendered such that whatever they saw in this world they thought about not only in a natural way, but spiritually also at th... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=21 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 25 25. The reason why the spiritual sense of the Word has been at this day disclosed by the Lord is that the doctrine of genuine truth has now been revealed; and this doctrine, and no other, is in accord with the spiritual sense of the Word. This sense, moreover, is signified by the appearing of the Lord in the clouds of heaven with glory and power (Matt. 24:30, 31); which chapter treats of the consu... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=25 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 49 49.

On this account they believed they woul... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=61 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 90 90. As the subject here treated of is the Divinity and holiness of the Word, to what has already been said we may add something worthy of mention. A small piece of paper marked with Hebrew letters, but written as the ancients wrote them, was once sent me from heaven. In those times some of the letters that now are partly formed with straight lines were curved, and had little horns that turned upwa... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=90 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 92 92.

This is especially the case with those whose affection is excited by tru... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=fa§ion=3 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Faith 40 40.
