HEAVEN AND HELL 68
The Divine human from eternity was the Divine truth in heaven and the
Divine passing through heaven; thus it was the Divine outgo [existere] which
afterwards in the Lord became the Divine being [esse per se], from which is
the Divine Existere in heaven (n. 3061, 6280, 6880, 10579).
What the state of heaven was before the Lord’s coming (n. 6371–6373).
The Divine was not perceptible except when it passed through heaven (n.
6982, 6996, 7004).
[8] The inhabitants of all the earth worship the Divine under a human
form, that is, the Lord (n. 6700, 8541–8547, 10736–10738).
They rejoice when they hear that God actually became Man (n. 9361).
All who are in good and who worship the Divine under the human form,
are received by the Lord (n. 9359).
God cannot be thought of except in human form; and what is
incomprehensible does not fall into any idea, so neither into belief (n. 9359,
9972).
Man is able to worship that of which he has some idea, but not that of
which he has no idea (n. 4733, 5110, 5663, 7211, 9356, 10067, 10267).
Therefore the Divine is worshiped under a human form by most of the
inhabitants of the entire globe, and this is the effect of influx from heaven (n.
10159).
All who are in good in regard to their life, when they think of the Lord,
think of the Divine human, and not of the human separate from the Divine;
it is otherwise with those who are not in good in regard to their life (n. 2326,
4724, 4731, 4766, 8878, 9193, 9198).
In the church at this day those that are in evil in regard to their life, and
those that are in faith separate from charity, think of the human of the Lord
apart from the Divine, and do not even comprehend what the Divine human
is—why they do not (n. 3212, 3241, 4689, 4692, 4724, 4731, 5321, 6872,
8878, 9193, 9198).
The Lord’s human is Divine because it is from the being [esse] of the
Father, and this was his soul—illustrated by a father’s likeness in children (n.
10269, 10372, 10823).
