Teachings for the New Jerusalem on the Lord 37 37. THE LORD IS GOD HIMSELF, FROM WHOM AND CONCERNING WHOM IS THE WORD. In chapter I. we undertook to show that universal Holy Scripture treats of the Lord, and that the Lord is the Word. This shall now be further shown from passages of the Word in which the Lord is called "Jehovah," the "God of Israel and of Jacob," the "Holy One of Israel," the "Lord,&quo... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ld§ion=37 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on the Lord 51 51. v. That by "spirit," when said of the Lord, is specifically meant the life of His wisdom, which is Divine Truth: I tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I go away, for if I go not away the Comforter will not come unto you, but if I go away I will send Him unto you (John 16:7). When He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will lead you into all truth. He shall no... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ld§ion=51 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on the Lord 60 60. That in the Lord, God and Man (as is said in the Creed) are not two, but one Person, yea, altogether one, as soul and body are one, is clear from many things said by the Lord Himself, as that the Father and He are one; that all things of the Father are His, and all His the Father's; that He is in the Father, and the Father in Him; that all things are given into His hand; that He has all power;... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ld§ion=60 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on the Lord 64 64. The reason why "Jerusalem" means the church as to doctrine, is that there and at no other place in the land of Canaan were the temple and altar, the offering of sacrifices, and therefore the Divine worship; and for this reason the three yearly feasts were celebrated there, to which every male in the whole country was commanded to go. This is why "Jerusalem" signifies the ch... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ld§ion=64 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 7 7. The distinction between these degrees cannot be known unless correspondence is known. For these three degrees are altogether distinct from each other, like end, cause, and effect, or like prior, posterior, and postreme; yet they make one by correspondences, for the Natural corresponds to the Spiritual, and also to the Celestial. What correspondence is may be seen in Heaven and Hell, where the s... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=7 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 9 9. ii. The spiritual sense is in all things of the Word, and in every single particular of it. This cannot be better seen than by examples, such as the following. John says in Revelation: I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse, and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=9 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 10 10. In Revelation, chapter 21, the Holy Jerusalem is thus described: That there was a light in her like unto a stone most precious, as it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal; that she had a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and over the gates twelve angels, and the name written thereon of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel; that the wall was a hundred and forty-four cubit... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=10 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 59 59. With such men the first thing is to get for themselves doctrine from the sense of the letter of the Word, and thus light a lamp for their further advance. Then after doctrine has been procured, and a lamp thus lighted, they see the Word by its means. Those however who do not procure doctrine for themselves, first make investigation as to whether the doctrine delivered by others and received by... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=59 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 78 78. Further, it is through the Word that the Lord is present with a man and is conjoined with him, for the Lord is the Word, and as it were speaks with the man in it. The Lord is also Divine truth itself, as likewise is the Word. From this it is evident that the Lord is present with a man and is at the same time conjoined with him, according to his understanding of the Word, for according to this... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=78 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 115 115. But as there are those who maintain, and have confirmed themselves in the opinion, that without a Word it is possible for a man to know of the existence of God, and of heaven and hell, and of all the other things taught by the Word, and as they thereby weaken the authority and holiness of the Word, if not with the lips, yet in the heart, therefore it is not practicable to deal with them from... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=115 Teachings about Life for the New Jerusalem: Drawn from the Ten Commandments 56 56. So great a power and so great a holiness existed in that Law for the further reason that it was a complex of all things of religion for it consisted of two tables of which the one contains all things that are on the part of God, and the other in a complex all things that are on the part of man. The commandments of this Law are therefore called the "Ten Words," and are so called becau... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=lf§ion=56 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 about Life for the New Jerusalem: Drawn from the Ten Commandments 91 91. It is a general opinion at the present day that to be saved consists in believing this thing or that which the church teaches, and that it does not consist in keeping the commandments (which are, Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness) in both the restricted and the extended sense. For it is maintained that works are not regarded by God, but faith, when ne... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=lf§ion=91 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Faith 31 31. Knowledges [cognitiones] of good and truth that precede faith appear to some to be things of faith (or real belief), but still are not so. Their thinking and saying that they believe is no proof that they do so, and neither are such knowledges things of faith, for they are matters of mere thought that the case is so, and not of any internal recognition that they are truths; and the faith or be... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=fa§ion=31 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Faith 37 37. These two Universals of the Christian Faith have already been treated of specifically; the first, which regards the Lord, in the Doctrine of the New Jerusalem concerning the Lord; and the second, which regards man, in the Doctrine of Life for the New Jerusalem. It is therefore unnecessary to discuss them further here. ... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=fa§ion=37 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 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Faith 64 64. ii. That those in faith separated from charity are meant in the Word by "goats," shown from the Last Judgment and the character of those upon whom it was executed. The Last Judgment was executed upon no others than those who in externals had been moral, but in internals had not been spiritual, or but little spiritual. As to those who had been evil in both externals and internals, the... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=fa§ion=64 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 7 7. From what has been said already, it may appear that the Last Judgment cannot exist in the natural world, but in the spiritual world. That it also has existed there, may be seen from the things related of it from sight, in the former small work on The Last Judgment (n. 45-72), and still further from the particulars about to be related from sight, of the Last Judgment upon the Reformed. He who at... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=7 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 46 46. I have often seen a certain Englishman, who became celebrated by a book he published some years ago, in which he attempted to establish the conjunction of faith and charity by an influx and interior operation of the Holy Spirit. He gave out that this influx affected man in an inexpressible manner, and without his being conscious of it, but did not touch, much less manifestly move his will or e... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=46
