HEAVEN AND HELL 69<br />

Also because it was from the Divine love, which was the very being [esse] of<br />

his life from conception (n. 6872).<br />

Every man is such as his love is, <strong>and</strong> is his love (n. 6872, 10177, 10284).<br />

The Lord made all his human, both internal <strong>and</strong> external, Divine (n. 1603,<br />

1815, 1902, 1926, 2083, 2093).<br />

Therefore, differently from any man, he rose again as to his whole body (n.<br />

1729, 2083, 5078, 10825).<br />

[9] That the Lord’s human is Divine is acknowledged from his<br />

omnipresence in the Holy Supper (n. 2343, 2359).<br />

Also from his transfiguration before his three disciples (n. 3212).<br />

Also from the Word of the Old Testament, in that he is called God (n.<br />

10154); <strong>and</strong> is called Jehovah (n. 1603, 1736, 1815, 1902, 2921, 3035,<br />

5110, 6281, 6303, 8864, 9194, 9315).<br />

In the sense of the letter a distinction is made between the Father <strong>and</strong> the<br />

Son, that is, between Jehovah <strong>and</strong> the Lord, but not in the internal sense of<br />

the Word, in which the angels of heaven are (n. 3035).<br />

In the Christian world the Lord’s human has been declared not to be<br />

Divine; this was done in a council for the pope’s sake, that he might be<br />

acknowledged as the Lord’s vicar (n. 4738).<br />

[10] Christians were examined in the other life in regard to their idea of<br />

one God, <strong>and</strong> it was found they held an idea of three gods (n. 2329, 5256,<br />

10736–10738, 10821).<br />

A Divine trinity or trine in one person, constituting one God, is<br />

conceivable, but not in three persons (n. 10738, 10821, 10824).<br />

A Divine trine in the Lord is acknowledged in heaven (n. 14, 15, 1729,<br />

2004, 5256, 9303).<br />

The trine in the Lord is the Divine itself, called the Father, the Divine<br />

human, called the Son, <strong>and</strong> the Divine going forth, called the Holy Spirit,<br />

<strong>and</strong> this Divine trine is a One (n. 2149, 2156, 2288, 2319, 2329, 2447,<br />

3704, 6993, 7182, 10738, 10822, 10823).<br />

The Lord himself teaches that the Father <strong>and</strong> he are One (n. 1729, 2004,<br />

2005, 2018, 2025, 2751, 3704, 3736, 4766); also that the holy Divine goes
