111. That the Divine Human existed from eternity is confirmed from the following incidents. The Lord said that Abraham had seen Him [John 8:56]. It was the Lord Himself Who was seen, not the Father. It was He Himself Who spoke, Who also is "the Holy One of Israel," and Who was seen. There are many other instances in the Word. These things cannot be said of the Divine Itself, for this can appear to no one, but these things are said of the Divine Human.
