HEAVEN AND HELL 70<br />

forth from him <strong>and</strong> is his (n. 3969, 4673, 6788, 6993, 7499, 8127, 8302,<br />

9199, 9228, 9229, 9264, 9407, 9818, 9820, 10330).<br />

[11] The Divine human flows into heaven <strong>and</strong> makes heaven (n. 3038).<br />

The Lord is the all in heaven <strong>and</strong> is the life of heaven (n. 7211, 9128). In the<br />

angels the Lord dwells in what is his own (n. 9338, 10125, 10151, 10157).<br />

Consequently those who are in heaven are in the Lord (n. 3637, 3638).<br />

The Lord’s conjunction with angels is measured by their reception of the<br />

good of love <strong>and</strong> charity from him (n. 904, 4198, 4205, 4211, 4220, 6280,<br />

6832, 7042, 8819, 9680, 9682, 9683, 10106, 10810).<br />

The entire heaven has reference to the Lord (n. 551, 552). The Lord is the<br />

common center of heaven (n. 3633, 3641).<br />

All in heaven turn themselves to the Lord, who is above the heavens (n.<br />

9828, 10130, 10189).<br />

Nevertheless angels do not turn themselves to the Lord, but the Lord turns<br />

them to himself (n. 10189).<br />

It is not a presence of angels with the Lord, but the Lord’s presence with<br />

angels (n. 9415).<br />

In heaven there is no conjunction with the Divine itself, but conjunction<br />

with the Divine human (n. 4211, 4724, 5663).<br />

[12] <strong>Heaven</strong> corresponds to the Divine human of the Lord; consequently<br />

heaven in general is as a single man, <strong>and</strong> for this reason heaven is called the<br />

greatest man (n. 2996, 2998, 3624–3649, 3741–3745, 4625).<br />

The Lord is the Only Man, <strong>and</strong> those only are men who receive the Divine<br />

from him (n. 1894).<br />

So far as they receive are they men <strong>and</strong> images of him (n. 8547).<br />

Therefore angels are forms of love <strong>and</strong> charity in human form, <strong>and</strong> this<br />

from the Lord (n. 3804, 4735, 4797, 4985, 5199, 5530, 9879, 10177).<br />

[13] The whole heaven is the Lord’s (n. 2751, 7086).<br />

He has all power in the heavens <strong>and</strong> on earth (n. 1607, 10089, 10827).
