229. It is superfluous to adduce here anything from the Heavenly Arcana, because the subjects which concern the Resurrection and Man's life after death, have been fully treated of in the work on Heaven and Hell, the following chapters of which may be consulted:

I. Every man is a spirit as to his interiors, nos. 432-444.
II. A man's resuscitation from the dead, and his entrance into eternal life, nos. 445-452.
III. After death a man is in a perfect human form, nos. 453-460.
IV. After death a man enjoys every sense, and all the memory, thought, and affection, which he had in the world; leaving behind nothing but his earthly body, nos. 461-469.
V. A man's quality after death is such as his life had been in the world, nos. 470-484.
VI. The delights of a man's life are turned into corresponding things, nos. 485-490.
VII. A man's first state after death, nos. 491-498.
VIII. A man's second state after death, nos. 499-511.
IX. A man's third state after death, which is a state of instruction for those who go to heaven, nos. 512-520.
X. Heaven and hell are from the human race, nos. 311-317.

That the Last Judgment, which was also spoken of above at no. 226, will not be attended with the destruction of the world, see the small work on The Last Judgment and the Babylon Destroyed, from beginning to end.
