The Book of the Apocalypse Revealed, Uncovering the Secrets That Were Foretold There and Have Lain Hidden until Now 478 478. The mystery of God shall be finished; as He hath declared to His servants the prophets, signifies that then it will appear that it is foretold in the Word of both Testaments, but has hitherto been hidden, that after the Last Judgment is executed upon those who have devastated the church, the Lord's kingdom will come. By "being finished" is signified to be fulfilled, to have an end,... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ar§ion=478 The Book of the Apocalypse Revealed, Uncovering the Secrets That Were Foretold There and Have Lain Hidden until Now 535 535. Verse 2. And being with child, she cried, travailing, and pained to bring forth, signifies the nascent doctrine of the New Church, and its difficult reception on account of the resistance by those who are meant by "the dragon." "To be with child" signifies the nascent doctrine, because by "the offspring which was in the womb" (whose birth is treated of in verse 5... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ar§ion=535 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 The Book of the Apocalypse Revealed, Uncovering the Secrets That Were Foretold There and Have Lain Hidden until Now 949 949. Verse 12. And, behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to render to everyone according as his work shall be, signifies that the Lord will certainly come, and that He Himself is heaven and the felicity of eternal life to everyone according to faith in Him, and life according to His commandments. "Behold, I come quickly," signifies that He will certainly come, that is, to ex... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ar§ion=949 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 27 27. MARRIAGES IN HEAVEN That there are marriages in heaven cannot enter into the faith of those who believe that after death man is a soul or spirit, and cherish an idea of the soul and spirit as of a tenuous ether or breath; and who believe that man will not live as a man until after the day of the Last Judgment; in general, who know nothing about the spiritual world wherein are angels and... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=27 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 26 26. Again I asseverate in truth that these things were done and said as they are related, the former in the world of spirits which is midway between heaven and hell, and the latter in the society of heaven from which came the angel-guide of the trumpet.* who in the Christian world would have known anything about heaven, and about the joys and happiness there, knowledge of which is also knowledge c... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=26 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 39 39. V. THESE STATEMENTS FULLY CONFIRMED BY OCULAR EXPERIENCE. That man lives as a man after death, that the male is then a male and the female a female, and that with every one his own love remains and especially love of the sex and conjugial love, are propositions which I have thus far sought to confirm by considerations such as belong to the understanding and are called rational. But because in... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=39 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 145 145. VI. THAT WITH THOSE WHO ARE MADE SPIRITUAL BY THE LORD, CONJUGIAL LOVE IS MORE AND MORE PURIFIED AND MADE CHASTE. The reasons are: 1. Because the first love, by which is meant the love before the nuptials and just after them, partakes somewhat of love of the sex, thus of an ardor belonging to the body, not yet moderated by the love of the spirit. [2] 2. Because man from being natural becomes... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=145 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 302 302. VI. THAT BY BETROTHAL EACH IS PREPARED FOR CONJUGIAL LOVE. That by betrothal, the mind or spirit of the one is prepared for union with the mind or spirit of the other, or, what is the same thing, the love of the one with the love of the other, is evident from the arguments presented in the preceding article. It should be mentioned in addition, that on conjugial love is inscribed the following... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=302 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 489 489. IX. THAT ADULTERIES COMMITTED BY THESE ARE IMPUTABLE ACCORDING AS THE UNDERSTANDING AFTERWARDS DOES OR DOES NOT FAVOR THEM. So far as his understanding favors evils, man appropriates them to himself and makes them his own. Favor is consent, and consent induces on the mind a state of love of them. It is the same with those adulteries which in the beginning were committed without the consent of... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=489 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 155 155. XIII. THAT CHASTITY CANNOT BE PREDICATED OF THOSE WHO HAVE RENOUNCED MARRIAGES BY VOWING PERPETUAL CELIBACY, UNLESS THERE BE AND REMAIN IN THEM THE LOVE OF A LIFE TRULY CONJUGIAL. That chastity cannot be predicated of these is because, after the vow of perpetual celibacy, conjugial love is cast out, though to this love alone belongs the predication of chastity; also because inclination to the... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=155 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 497 497. XVI. THAT THEY DO THIS TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT AT LAST THE ADULTERERS CAST OFF ALL THINGS OF THE CHURCH AND RELIGION. That adulterers from purpose and confirmation cast off all things of the church and religion, is because the love of marriage and the love of adultery are opposites (no. 425). The love of marriage acts as one with the church and religion (no. 130 and elsewhere throughout the Fi... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=497 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 216 216. VI. THAT THOSE WHO ARE IN LOVE TRULY CONJUGIAL LOOK TO WHAT IS ETERNAL IN MARRIAGE; NOT SO THOSE WHO ARE NOT IN CONJUGIAL LOVE. That those who are in love truly conjugial look to what is eternal, is because eternity is in the love, its eternity being due to the fact that it increases to all eternity with the wife, as also does wisdom with the husband. In this increase or progression, the part... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=216 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 498 498. XVII. THAT NEVERTHELESS, LIKE OTHERS, THEY STILL POSSESS HUMAN RATIONALITY. That as to the understanding, the natural, sensual, and corporeal man is equally rational as the spiritual man, was demonstrated before me in the case of those satans and devils spoken of here and there in the Memorable Relations who, by leave, rose up out of hell and conversed with angelic spirits in the world of spi... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=498 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 4 4. Concerning Justification. (a) That our heavenly Father, the Father of mercies, sent Christ Jesus His Son to men, in the blessed fulness of time, as well to the Jews who were under the law, as to the Gentiles who followed not justice, that they might all lay hold of justice, and all receive the adoption of sons. Him God offered to be a propitiation through faith in His blood, not only for our si... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=4 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 33 33. The reason why the idea of three Gods has principally arisen from the Athanasian Creed, where a Trinity of Persons is taught, is, because the word Person begets such an idea, which is further implanted in the mind by the following words in the same Creed: "There is one Person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Spirit"; and afterwards: The Father is... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=33 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 38 38. Here I will add something from the Confession of the Dutch Churches received at the Synod of Dort, which is this: "I believe in one God, who is one essence, in which are three Persons, truly and really distinct, incommunicable properties from eternity, namely, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; the Father is of all things, both visible and invisible, the cause, origin, and beginnin... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=38 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 5 5. Concerning Faith, Charity, Good Works and Merits. (a) When the apostle says, that man is justified by faith and freely, these words are to be understood in the sense wherein the Catholic church has uniformly held and expressed them; namely, that we are said to be justified by faith, because faith is the commencement of man's salvation, the foundation and root of all justification, without which... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=5 True Christian Religion: Containing the Whole Theology of the New Church Predicted by the Lord in Daniel 7:13-14 and Revelation 21:1-2 64 64. The Divine omnipresence may be illustrated by the wonderful way in which angels and spirits become present to each other in the spiritual world. Because there is no space in that world, but only an appearance of space, an angel or spirit may instantly become present with another whenever he comes into a like affection and consequent thought; for it is these two that cause the appearance of spa... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=tcr§ion=64 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 69 69. That man in his conversion is like a stock, the faith of the present church acknowledges as its natural offspring in these express words. That man is altogether impotent in spiritual things [n. 15 (a) (b) (c)]. That in conversion he is like a stock, a stone, and a statue; and that he cannot so much as accommodate and apply himself to receive grace, but is like something that has not the use of... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=69
