HEAVEN AND HELL 65
Extracts from Arcana Coelestia
Relating to the Lord
and His Divine Human
[2] The Divine was in the Lord from very conception (n. 4641, 4963,
5041, 5157, 6716, 10125).
The Lord alone had a Divine seed (n. 1438).
His soul was Jehovah (n. 1999, 2004, 2005, 2018, 2025).
Thus the Lord’s inmost was the Divine itself, while the clothing was from
the mother (n. 5041).
The Divine itself was the being [esse] of the Lord’s life, and from this the
human afterwards went forth and became the outgo [existere] from that being
[esse] (n. 3194, 3210, 10269, 10738).
[3] Within the church where the Word is and by it the Lord is known, the
Lord’s Divine ought not to be denied, nor the holy that goes forth from Him
(n. 2359).
Those within the church who do not acknowledge the Lord have no
conjunction with the Divine; but it is otherwise with those outside of the
church (n. 10205).
The essential of the church is to acknowledge the Lord’s Divine and His
union with the Father (n. 10083, 10112, 10370, 10730, 10738,
10816–10820).
[4] The glorification of the Lord is treated of in the Word in many
passages (n. 10828).
And in the internal sense of the Word everywhere (n. 2249, 2523, 3245).
