150. 'Even as I have accepted from My Father' signifies that they shall have this from the Lord, Who, when He was in the world, furnished Himself with all power over the hells out of His Own Divine that was in Himself. That the Lord, when He was in the world, by means of the temptations admitted into Himself, and at last by means of the utmost limit thereof, which was the passion of the cross, subjugated the hells and glorified His Human, may be seen in THE DOCTRINE OF THE NEW JERUSALEM CONCERNING THE LORD(n. 29-36); also above in n. 67. From these things it can be established that 'to accept from His Father' is from the Divine that was in Himself; for He said that the Father is in Him and He in the Father [John xiv 11], that the Father and He are One [John x 30]; also, 'The Father, Who is in Me' [John xiv 10]; and more.
