The erudite do not comprehend what the spirit is, and what the life after death is; an experience, 6317. The erudite believe less than the simple, because they consult scientifics from a negative spirit, and so deprive themselves of interior vision, 4760:4. The erudite are less wise than the simple, because they are sensual, and the scientifics are of sensual things, 5089:2. Very many of the erudite are in the persuasion of falsity, because they confirm falsities by means of scientifics, 5128:3. The erudite are, for the most part, sensual; the reason, 6316. Scientifics are the means of becoming wise, and the means of becoming insane; and therefrom the erudite, in the other life, are more stupid than the simple, 41562.

Life (vita). Life in the Lord. The Divine Good of the Lord is the Esse Itself, and His Divine Truth is life therefrom, 3619. The Lord as to the Human also has life in Himself, 2658. The Lord as to each Essence is life, but man is only a recipient of life from the Lord, 2021.

Life is from the Lord. There is one only life: namely, the Lord's, 6467; it exists in man just as it is received, 6467, 6472. See also INFLUX. There is one only life, which is the Lord's, to which the recipients of life ought to correspond; they are such things as just correspond, 3001. There is one only life, and to that forms correspond which are substances, or organs; and these are such things as just correspond to life; and this is the correspondence of organs with life, 3484. There is one only life, and all angels, spirits, and men are recipient forms of life: shown, 3742; and the Lord's life is appropriated from the Lord's love and mercy towards the whole human race, 3742. There is one only life, and that is from the Lord; and it is varied in subjects according to reception, 5847. There is no life and being, except in those things which are from the Lord, thus which are eternal, 726:2. All life is from the Lord, 1954. See INFLUX. All life is from the Lord: illustrated from things seen, 6468:2, 6470. Everything of life is from the Lord, 4524, 4882, 10196; illustrated from experience, 4882; and it is as the principal and instrumental cause, which act as one cause; and it is sensated in the instrumental, 6325. Everything of life with man flows in by means of heaven from the Lord: references, 9276:9. Man lives from the Lord by means of the goods and truths of doctrine, 2531. All life is from the Lord, and it diffuses itself into all and every form in an incomprehensible manner, 2886-2889.

All in general and particular think and will from others thus finally from the Lord, 2886. If communication by means of spirits and angels were taken away from man he could not live, 2887. Life is diversified in objects according to their qualities, 2888. When the life of the lusts of evil, and of the persuasions of falsity, is taken away, then there is life for the time, 2889. All within the Church know that the life of evil and falsity is from hell, and the life of good and truth is from the Lord, 2893. The Grand Man is from the influx of the Lord's life, and therefrom are celestial and spiritual things in heaven, 3741. The evil are not willing to be convinced that they do not live from themselves, 3743. Man does not live from himself: illustrated from the good and truth which flow in from the Lord, and the evil and falsity from hell, 4151:3. A man believes that he thinks and wills from himself; nevertheless the doctrinal declares that good and truth are from the Lord, and evil and falsity from hell, 4249:3. To know and perceive that all life is from the Lord, and that heaven relates to the Grand Man, is the chief thing of the intelligence of angels, 4318. All the life both of thought and of will is from the Lord, even as to hell, 4319, 4320. That life appears with everyone as if it were in himself is from the Lord's love towards the whole human race, 4320. The evil also live from the Lord, but their life is spiritual death: shown, 4417. All things exist and subsist from things prior to themselves, thus from the First; consequently, from the Lord, by means of the spiritual world, 4523:3, 4524. Doubts respecting the influx of life from the Lord cannot be removed, so long as there are fallacies, unknown things, and a ruling negative state, 6479.

Man is a Recipient of Life. See also above. Man does not live from himself, but he is an organ recipient of life, 3318:2. The lights and heats with a man, a spirit, and an angel live from the influx of the Lord's life, 3337, 3338. The evil and the infernals are also forms recipient of the Lord's life, but they reject good and truth therefrom, or suffocate, or pervert them, 3743. No one thinks and speaks from himself, but from others; an experience; thus the Lord's life flows into all and each; and it is varied according to the subjects, 5986. The sweetness of angels does not live from themselves; and I heard from heaven that it is so, 6469.

Life in Man. The life of man is according to the ends, 1909. All, even the worst, have life from the Lord, but according to reception, 2706. All speech lives from the Lord's life, but according to the degree in which the speech is, 3344. There are two lives, which are spoken of in the plural, because there are two faculties of life, one of which belongs to the will, or good, and the other to the understanding, or truth: shown, 3623. Then first there is life when the life of the love of self and the world is extinguished, 3610. Concerning some who lived as beasts; how little they have of life; and the life breathed into them by means of angels, 3647. Life from the Lord is grievous with those who are not in the good of charity; from examples, 6471. If the life of the love of self and the world were taken away from the evil, they would be as an infant lately born, as to all things of life: an experience, 2871. The vital [essence] of man is from spiritual fire and heat, and this is love, 4906. Man can receive the Divine by means of thought and affection; and he has a reciprocal, that it may be appropriated to him, otherwise than to beasts, and, therefore, he cannot die, 5114:4. Spiritual light and spiritual heat make the life of man concerning which: illustrated, 6032. It is life to will good and believe truth; and they are alive who so will and believe; and it is death to will evil and believe falsity; and these are the dead: shown, 7494. The Lord dwells in His own, thus in the Divine with man: shown, 9385:6. Those things become of the life, which are received in the will, 9386, 9393. Matters which become of the life vanish from the external memory, 9394:4. They who are in falsities from evil have no real life, but they have the life of phantasy; and such a life they have who are in hell, 4623, 10284, 10286. Life consists in, and depends on, freedom. See FREEDOM. He who lives in good, and believes that truth, good, and life are from the Lord, can be gifted with freedom, 2892. Faith does not save, but the life of faith, which is charity, does; for the life remains after death, 2228:2. Life is what saves, but not preaching, 4683.

The Other Life. Man after death enters almost immediately into the other life, 70. How what is alive and what is dead appear in the other life, 671. Concerning the state of life after death, see STATE. His own life remains with everyone after death, 4227:5. The external things of life are put off when a man dies, and the internal are opened, 4314e. In the other life all things, in general and particular, of the life of each one lie opened, 4633. The life that remains after death is not external, but internal, 5128:4. A man, after death, appears as he had been in the interiors, not as he had been in externals, 6495e. Everyone is allotted to heaven according to his life, 7439:3. All in the other life are consociated according to life, 8700:4. The quality of the life of evil spirits, and whence it is, 1742:2.

Significations. Life d. a representative state, 3251, 3274. Lives s. times and states, 2904. To live to eternity also d. to live in damnation, 304. By living and life, in the Word, is understood spiritual life, which is intelligence and wisdom; in general, heaven and eternal happiness; but by death the contrary is understood, 5407. To vivify and life, in the Word, d. spiritual life: shown, 5890. Whilst he was yet living d. to give life, 3248. Eternal life d. to receive from the Lord that which is life: namely, the intelligence and wisdom of truth and good, 5070. 'Let Pharaoh live' is a form of asseverating, thus what is certain, 5449.

Light (lucerna). See LAMP and LAMPSTAND.

Light (lumen). See LIGHT (lux). Some suppose heaven to consist in the light of glory, 455.

Light (lux). See also LIGHT (lumen), SUN, MOON, RAINBOW. Light is from the Lord. The Lord is light: shown, 3195:4. The Lord is the Sun of heaven, and therefrom is the light in which is intelligence, and heat in which is love; and thence are the correspondents, 3636, 3643. Light is from the Lord, and that is the Divine Truth, from which is faith, intelligence, and wisdom: references, 9548, 9684.

Light in the Spiritual World. The light in which they live who are of the Most Ancient Church, 1117. The speech of angels sometimes appears in the world of spirits like a flame-coloured light, 1646. Spirits and angels see nothing that is in the solar world, nor, on the contrary, do men see [anything in the spiritual world]; they have seen through my eyes, 1880. In the other life all light is from the Lord, and all shade from the proprium; and variegations are therefrom, 3341. They who are in faith alone appear in snowy light, but winterly, which turns into darkness, when they approach towards heaven, 3412:3, 3413:2. Heaven is in light and heat; hell is in thick darkness and cold, 3643. Light in the other life has intelligence and wisdom in itself, hence the colours there, which signify, 3993:6. Progression towards interiors appears clearly in the other life, as from mist to light, 4598. Truths shine in the other life; concerning which, 5219. A great light seen by some, 7174. The light in the heavens is from the Lord, who is the Sun; its modifications, 1053:2. See also RAINBOW. Light in heaven is more luminous than light on earth; and this is from the Lord, 3195:2. Angels are in light and heat, and the more they are in them the more they are in intelligence and wisdom, 3339. The falsities and evils of the Church appear before Divine Light in heaven as they are, but not among those who are in them: illustrated from experience, 4674:2. Light in heaven is from the Divine Human of the Lord: shown, 9571e. Light in the inmost heaven is flame-coloured, because they who are there are in good, but in the middle heaven it is a dazzling white, because they are in truth, 9570. In the hells also there is light (lumen), but a fatuous one, 3340. See THICK DARKNESS. The loves of self and gain induce darkness and stupors, 3413. Concerning the light in which the angels live, 1521-1533, 1619-1632. There is a great light in heaven, which is from the Lord, who is the Sun, 1521:2. The light of the world is darkness, 1521:2. Light frequently seen, 1522. An experience in their abodes, 1523. The light of angels compared to the light of spirits is according to the intelligence and wisdom; what are the differences, 1524. Their lucidity who pertain to the province of the eye, 1525. How great light is when one is withdrawn from the ideas of particulars, 1526. The life of lusts is as a charcoal fire, falsity thence is as the light (lumen) thereof, 1528. Light is from the Lord who is the Sun to the celestial, and as the Moon to the spiritual, as testified in the Word, 1529, 1530. Wonderful things appear from the light in heaven, when the internal sight is opened, 1532. From phantasy concerning what is immaterial, light would be as something dark, 1533.

The Light of Heaven and the Light of the World. The light of heaven illuminates the sight and the understanding; and as is the proportion and quality of the light so is the proportion and quality of the understanding, 2776:3. That there is an internal sense appears in the light of heaven, not so in the light of the world, 3086. They who are only in the light of the world do not comprehend those things which are of the light of heaven, 3108. There are the light of heaven and the light of the world; the internal man has sight and understanding from the light of heaven, but the external man from the light of the world; but the light is vivified by means of love, which is spiritual heat, 3138. What the spiritual, or internal man is, and what the natural, or external: namely, the spiritual, or internal is wise from the light of heaven, the natural, or external from the light of the world, 3167. When truth is elevated from the natural into the rational, it passes from those things which are of the light of the world into those which are of the light of heaven, thus from the obscure to the clear; man is so in wisdom, 3190. There is wisdom and intelligence in the light of heaven, 3195:4. There are two lights: the light of heaven from the Lord, and the light of the world from the sun, 3223, 3224. The light of heaven is for the internal, or spiritual man; the light of the world is for the external, or natural man; several things concerning which light here, 3223, 3224. Between these lights there is a correspondence; and those things which exist in the light of the world are representations, 3225. So far as anyone is in the light of the world, those things which are in the light of heaven appear as thick darkness, 3337. Imagination and thought are modifications of each light, 3337. Appearances in the other life are appearances, but alive, thus real, because from the light of heaven, which is wisdom and life from the Lord; and those things which are from the light of the world are respectively not real things, except so far as they are conjoined with those which are of the light of heaven, 3485. The light of heaven is never extinguished, but always shines, though it appears extinct with those who are in contraries, 4060;3. They who are in the light of heaven are in intelligence and wisdom; not so they who are in natural light, except so far as the light of heaven flows into this, 4302:2. Very many things which are in the light of heaven do not fall into human ideas and words, 4609. What monsters infernals appear in the light of heaven; an experience, 5057:3, 5058. The light of heaven is from Divine Truth, a thousand times nmore dazzling than the light of the world, 5400. There is light in hell, but it is turned into darkness and thick darkness against the light of heaven, 6000. The illumination of the understanding from the light of heaven perceived, 6608. The light of the world glows red with the evil, and the light of heaven with them is thick darkness; with the good the light of heaven is a dazzling white, and becomes more and more so; and the light of the world is obscure, saving where truths are, 6907:3. The quality of the light (lumen) in hell; at the presence of the light of heaven it becomes thick darkness, 7870:2. The light of heaven is thick darkness to those who are in falsities: illustrated, 8197. A comparison with the sun and the light of the world to show the quality of the Divine Good of the Lord's Divine Love and the Truth which proceeds therefrom, 8644. There must be a general illumination of the understanding from the light of heaven, as the illumination of the eye from the light of the world, that objects may appear, 8707. Those things which are in the light of heaven cannot be seen from the light of the world, because they are thick darkness; and vice versa, 9577:2.

Enlightenment and Influx. The Lord from the Divine Human illuminates the spiritual; this would not be the case unless the Human were united to the Divine, 2776:3. Enlightenment is from good, but by means of truth, 3094. The Lord willed to be born a man that they who were in dense darkness might have light: namely, they who removed themselves far from good and truth, 3195:3. The influx of the Lord's life causes things to live, 3337e. Before the Lord's coming there was light from the Divine by means of heaven; after His coming there was Divine Light from His Divine Human, 4180:5. There is a true light and a fatuous light (lumen); they who are good are in enlightenment from the true light; they who are in evil are in the fatuous light: illustrated, 4214:2. Spiritual light and heat make the life of man; concerning which: illustrated, 6032. Sight from heavenly light has spiritual, civil, and moral things for its objects, 8861:2. Divine Truth, which is from the Lord, or which is Light, makes the intellectual, 9399; and the heat of light gives life to the will, 9400:2. How the Divine Truth proceeds from the Divine Human of the Lord, and flows in: illustrated by radiant circles, which are spheres of light, 9407:14. How man is elevated into that light, 940715. Real light illuminates the understanding, 10569:2.

Sensual Light. Concerning his state when a man is in sensual light (lumen), 6310-6314. See SENSUAL [under SENSE.] When a man is elevated from sensual things, he comes into a milder light (lumen), and at length into heavenly light, 6313. A man who is elevated, because he is in the good of faith, is alternately in this and in that light (lumen); and thus he is elevated by the Lord, 6315.

Correspondence of Light. Concerning the correspondence of the sight of the eye and light in the Grand Man, [4405-4420,] 4523-4533. The sight of the eye c. to the understanding, and this comes to pass from the two lights; concerning which, 4405. The light of intelligence is what flows in by means of the internal man, and meets the light which has entered by means of the external man and his eye, 4408. There is a correspondence of the sight with truths, because these are of the understanding, and there is nothing that does not relate to truth and good, 4409. The sight of the left eye c. to the truths of faith, and that of the right eye to the goods of faith; the reason, 4410. The humours and coats of the eye with every single part of it correspond, 4411. Who represent the coat of the eye, 4412. The light of heaven has intelligence in it, 4413. The differences of light in the heavens are as many as the societies and the angels, 4414. There is light in the other life, and it is from the Lord; and in the light there is intelligence; an experience, 4415. What quality of light they have who have confirmed themselves in truth, and live the life of evil, or who are in a persuasive faith concerning which faith, 4416. Truth can never be conjoined with evil, but it can be with good: shown from light, 4416:2. Evils also live from the Lord, but that life is spiritual death; and it is shown of what quality they appear, 4417. The hells are said to be in darkness, because they are in falsities; and concerning their light (lumen) there, 4418. The quality of intelligence from the proprium appears, also that of intelligence from the Divine: shown by means of lights, 4419:2. The sight of the eye c. to the sight of the intellectual, and thence to the truths of faith; and this because the light of the world c. to the light of heaven, 4526. Concerning the light of heaven; it immensely surpasses the light of the world; an experience, 4527. Darkness is predicated of the hells, yet they have a light (lumen), but as the light (lumen) from a charcoal fire; it becomes as darkness at the presence of the light of heaven, 4531. They who are in hell appear in their own light (lumen) as men, but viewed by the angels they appear as devils and monsters; and whence it is, 4533. The loves of good are rd. by flames, but truths by lights, 3222. The variations of light by means of the Urim and Thummim, 3862:2. See URIM.

Lightnings (fulgura). Lightnings d. the splendours which truths have from the good of love, which splendours dazzle and penetrate, in both senses: shown, 8813. Thunders d. truths Divine; and lightnings d. splendours which truths have from good, 8914.

Lord (Dominus). See also GOD and JEHOVAH. The Lord is the Only God. The Lord is Lord, and is acknowledged in heaven as the Father, because He is One and the Same, 14, 15, 1729. The Lord is the Lord of heaven, 7086. The Lord alone is Life and the Living One, 290. There is one only life, which is the Lord's, 3001. The Lord has all power in the heavens and on the earths, 1607.

The Lord is from eternity: shown, 3704:12. The Lord is the only God: illustrated and shown, 7209. The Lord is manifestly called God in the Old Testament: shown, 10154. Our Lord is the one only Lord with the inhabitants of Jupiter, 8541, 8547. See JUPITER.

The Divine Trinity. There is a Trine in the Lord, 2447:6; the Father in Him, the Holy Spirit from Him, 7182; the Divine Itself, the Human Itself, and the Proceeding; also this Trine is one, 2149, 2156. The whole Trine is in the Lord, 2320, 3704:7. The whole Trine in the Lord is Jehovah, 2156, 2329:3; is one, and the Divine Human and Holy Proceeding are Jehovah, 2329:3. The whole Trine is in the Lord, and the Holy Spirit is the Divine Truth proceeding from the Lord: shown, 6993. When the learned were examined as to how far they had an idea of one God, [it was perceived that] they could not but have an idea of three; therefore the Jews said the Christians worship three gods, 2329. Christians in the other life speak of one God, but think of three; otherwise the gentiles, who adore the Lord alone; for they say that it cannot be other than that the supreme God has manifested Himself as a man, and that they cannot think otherwise of God than as of the Divine Man, 5256. For what proceeds immediately from the Divine Itself cannot be apprehended, but what proceeds from the Divine Human of the Lord can; how, 5321:2. Concerning the Trinity; the angels think of it otherwise than men do-they, that the Lord is the only and one God; and it is illustrated by means of the trine in an angel, 9303:2. The Lord is one with the Father: shown, 3704:8.

The Divine Man. The Lord alone is Man, and men are from the Lord, 1894. The Lord is the only Man, and men are men so far as they are His images, that is, so far as they are in good, 8547. The Lord is the Divine Man who is from eternity, or Jehovah, such as He is in heaven; and He took upon Him the Human that men might have an idea concerning the Divine, 5l10:3. The Lord was and is Jehovah in the human form: shown, 9315. God is everywhere in the universe worshipped under the human form, and it is implanted from heaven where the Lord is heaven itself; concerning which matter, 10159. The spirits of other earths rejoice when they hear that the Lord is actually a man, 9361.

Good Itself and Truth Itself. The Lord is Good Itself and Truth Itself, 2011; shown, 10336:2; because He is Infinite: shown, 10618, 10619. The Divine Good is called the Father in the Word; and the Divine Truth, the Son: shown, 3704:2. The Lord is the Divine Good, and from this the Divine Truth; and thus in the Lord there is nothing else than Divine Good; but Divine Truth is from the Lord, 3704:2, 3712:2, 4577. In the Lord is Divine Good, and from the Lord proceeds Divine Truth: illustrated from the sun, 5704:2. The Divine Good is in the Lord, and the Divine Truth is from the Lord, 8241. In the Lord there is a Divine marriage of truth and good; concerning which; from which is the heavenly marriage, 2803. The Lord is the celestial itself and the spiritual itself, or good and truth abstractly, 5110:2. The Divine Love of the Lord is celestial and spiritual; but the distinction is with respect to those who receive, 3325:7. The Divine Good of the Lord is simply one, because infinite; that it is distinguished into celestial and spiritual is from dissimilar reception, 10261.

The Source of All. All things exist and subsist from a prior to themselves, thus from the First, or the Lord, consequently by means of the spiritual world from the Lord, 4523:3, 4524. All things exist from a prior to themselves, thus at length from the Lord, 6056. Everything existing is from a first and a supreme, thus from the Lord, 9128:3. Nothing exists from itself, but from a prior to itself, thus all things, in general and particular, exist from the Lord, 6040. All live from the Lord, 681. All life is from the Lord, 2886, 2888, 2889, 4318, 4319. See LIFE. Everything of life is from the Lord, 4524. All life flows in from the Lord; thence from the inmost things of man into his exteriors in order; thus it is with spirits and angels, 1954. That life appears as if in everyone is from the Lord's love towards the whole human race, 4320. All order is from the Lord, and all laws of order, 2447:2. The Lord has nothing of power from evil and falsity, but only from Himself, because from Good and Truth, 1749, 1755. The Lord had all things from Himself, 3382:2. All good and truth are from the Lord, 1614, 2904, 2016. All good and truth are from the Lord alone, 2882, 2883, 2891, 2892. The angels know that all good and truth are from the Lord, and that all things flow in; but the evil are altogether unwilling to know this, 6193:2. The good of love to the Lord from the Lord is the only one good: illustrated, 9863. So far as good and truth flow in from the Lord evil and falsity are removed, 2411. From the Lord there is nothing but good; and the evil and the hells bring evil upon themselves by turning the Lord's good into evil, 7643:3, 7679, 7710. Evils and falsities are not from the Lord: illustrated, 9128:3. From the Lord there is nothing evil, nor even harsh, 8632. Wisdom and intelligence are of the Lord alone, 109, 112, 121, 124. Conjugial love is from the Lord's mercy towards the whole human race 686. Heavenly freedom is from the Lord, and man is led by the Lord, see FREEDOM. Heavenly love continually flows in from the Lord) but is impeded by the loves of sell and the world, 2041:2. The Lord is one with the Father; the whole heaven is His; from Him are all innocence, peace, love, charity, mercy, conjugial love, good and truth; Moses and the Prophets spoke concerning Him; and all the rites of the Jewish Church [represented Him], 2751.

Acknowledgment and Worship of the Lord. In the heavens no other Divine is acknowledged than the Lord's Divine Human: shown, 10067:2. The angels acknowledge no other Divine than the Divine Human of the Lord, because they can think about it and love it; not so about the Divine which is the Father: shown, 10267. All in heaven acknowledge the Lord; and all in hell are against the Lord, and yet they acknowledge a supreme being, 6475. Gentiles, in the other life, who were in good, acknowledge the Lord, see NATIONS. The inhabitants of all the earths, if not idolaters, adore the Divine in the human form, thus the Lord; and they know that they cannot otherwise be conjoined to the Divine, 6700. Concerning those who worship an idol of stone, that they may think of the invisible God; to whom it was said that they might better worship the invisible God in the Lord, who is God visible, 9972. The Lord acknowledges all in the other life who worship God under the human form, 9359. The acknowledgment of the Lord is the first of all things and the most essential of the Church; and otherwise nothing of faith and love to God can be given in the Church, 10083:5. To acknowledge the Lord is the first thing of the Church, and without that acknowledgment there is nothing of truth and good: shown and illustrated, 10112. The essential of the Church is to acknowledge the Divine Human, and to worship it: shown, 10370. The Lord was the God of the Ancient Church, 6846. Ancient wise men, when they thought of God, thought of the Lord as to the Divine Human; also the angels: illustrated, 6876:2. The most ancient and the ancient people acknowledged no other than the Lord as Jehovah, 5663:2; and they adored the Divine Human in which also Jehovah appeared, because they could not be conjoined in thought and affection to another than the Divine Human, 5663:3. The Ancient Church acknowledged the Lord as the Divine Man, and thereupon called Him Jehovah, 4692:2. The Church does not do this, 4692:4. The Lord is accepted better outside the Church than inside, 9198:2. They who are in good acknowledge the Lord, but not they who are in evil, although they are in truths, 9193:2. The Divine Itself cannot be communicated to angel, spirit, or man, other than by means of the Divine Human of the Lord, 4724:3; and they acknowledge the Divine Human who are in the life of faith, not they who are in faith separated, 4724:4, 4731:2. They who are in no charity cannot acknowledge the Lord, except from hypocrisy, 2354:2. They who are in evil never acknowledge the Lord's Divine Human; they can indeed understand that it can be so, but do not believe it is, 8878. In the Church the Divine Human of the Lord is not acknowledged; concerning which, 4689:2. Those within the Church who do not acknowledge the Lord have no conjunction with the Divine; otherwise those who are outside the Church, and live well, 10205:2. There is no church where it is not acknowledged by life and doctrine that the Lord's Human is Divine; thus that the Lord is one with the Father: shown, 4766. They who worship an incomprehensible God acknowledge no God, 9356. Jehovah the Father cannot be comprehended by any idea, and hence cannot be believed in, consequently not loved: shown, 10067:2. He may be comprehended by means of the Divine Human of the Lord: shown, 10067:4. If anyone saw the Lord he would adore Him from external things, not from internal; but they who are affected by truths and do goods adore Him from internal things, 5066, 5067. If man be worshipped as God, and not the Lord, infernal spirits are worshipped: illustrated, 10642:2. The Lord alone is to be worshipped, and not another, 10645. The Lord desires worship and glory not for His own sake, but for the sake of man's salvation; and this is the Lord's glory: illustrated, 10646:3. The Lord requires humiliation and adoration, not for the sake of Himself, but for the sake of man, because then he is in a state to receive good, 5957. True worship and true love of the Lord consists in doing His precepts: illustrated and shown, 10143:5, 10578:3. To have faith in the Lord, and to love Him is to will and do His precepts: illustrated by many passages, and also shown, 10645.

Salvation. Some are accepted by the Lord immediately after death, 319. How the Lord holds a man back from evil lest he rush into hell, 789. The Lord subjugates evil and hell with man, 987:3. Men are held back from evil by the Lord with mighty strength, 2406. The Lord's love towards the whole human race was the life of the Lord, when He was in the world, 2253. The Lord's love transcends all human understanding; concerning which, 2077. The Lord continually draws the man of the Church towards the interior, into heaven, and so nearer to Himself; and this from love towards the human race; and He wills to have them with Himself: shown and illustrated, 6645:2. The Lord never judges anyone, except from good; thus He adjudges no one to hell, 2335:3. The Lord never sends anyone into hell, 696, 1683. It may be surprising that to believe in the Lord is to be saved, when yet faith in the Lord is what saves; but faith is not given except with those who are in the life of faith: namely, in love and charity, 2343:3, 2347. None are saved by means of the Father's looking to the Son, but by the union of the Divine with the Human, in the Lord, 2854. The Lord wills to have the whole man, and not that man should be partly his own: shown why, 6138:2. That Jehovah, or the Lord, extols His power in the Word is not for His own sake, but for the sake of the human race, that they may be in humiliation, and so receive life and happiness, 7550e. The Divine power of the Lord is the power of saving the human race by removing the hells, and flowing through the heavens; and these things belong to the Lord alone: shown, 10019:3. The first state of those who are being reformed and regenerated is that they suppose good and truth to he from themselves, in which opinion they remain, for reasons; concerning whom; but when they are regenerated they believe these things are from the Lord; in which perception all angels are, 2946, 2960, 2974. So far as a man believes that all good and truth are from the Lord he is in His kingdom, 2904:2. They who have faith in the Lord have the heavenly kingdom; but they have the faith of charity, 1608.

The Divine Providence and Mercy. All are under the Lord's view: illustrated, 1274e, 1277e. The Lord sees from mercy, 223. The Lord rules the universe: shown, 3704:14. The Lord rules the universe from His Divine, Divine Human, and Holy Proceeding, 2288e. The Lord rules the universe, both heaven and the things that depend therefrom, 2026 2447:2. The Lord rules all things in general and particular with permission, admission, leave, good-pleasure, and will, 1755. Those things which are done by the Lord are said to be from the will, good-pleasure, leave, and permission, which are degrees of influx, 9940. The Lord turns evil into good; a representative, 8631. Concerning the Lord's Providence in the most particular things, see PROVIDENCE.

The Divine Presence. The presence of the Lord with man is according to the charity which is the man's, 904:2. The Lord's presence in heaven and with man is according to the reception of good from the Lord, 9680:2, 9682:2, 9683. The Lord is present in all, even in hell, but the presence is according to the reception, 2706. The presence of the Lord is with all according to the reception, 4198. There are various things in the Lord, but they appear varied according to reception, 4206:2. Concerning the Lord's presence in the heavens from the Sun, when yet He is in the Sun, 10106. The good, from the Lord's presence, are in good, and the evil still more in evil, 7989. They who are in falsities from evil are surrounded in hell from the Lord's presence alone:-illustrated and shown, 8l37:3, 8266. The Lord dwells in His own, thus in the Divine with a man or an angel, not in their proprium: shown, 9338:6. The Lord is heaven and the Church, because He dwells in His own, and not in their proprium with them, thus He is the All in all things there, 10125; shown, 10151, 10157. The Lord's presence is with man, not that of men with the Lord, 9415:2.

Divine Manifestations. The Lord speaks through angels, and they know not otherwise than that they are the Lord, 1925:2. The quality of the Lord's Divine Human appeared when He was transfigured, 3212:2. The Lord appears to everyone as he is who receives, 3235. The Lord appears to everyone according to his quality, 8819:2; illustrated, 6832:2. The Lord does not hide Himself, but evils are they which make it appear as if He hides Himself, 5696. The angels are veiled with a thin and suitable cloud, lest they be injured by the Divine influx, 6849. The Lord appears to each one as his quality is, 1861.

The Lord in the Spiritual World. The Lord delivered the world [of spirits] from the antediluvians, 1266; their dire phantasies concerning the Lord, 1268, 1270. Judgment belongs to the Divine Human and Holy Proceeding of the Lord, 2319-2321. The good are at the Lord's right, the evil at His left; so it is around a man and an angel, 1274, 1276. Some are further from the Lord, some are nearer, 1799:2, 1802. The Lord appears to the angels as the Sun and the Moon, and to the evil as darkness and a consuming fire, 1838, 1839. The Lord appears to the celestial angels as the Sun, and to the spiritual as the Moon, 1529-1531. The Lord appears as the Sun at a middle altitude, above the level of the right eye, 4321e. The Lord is the Sun of heaven, from which is love and faith, as heat and light are from the sun of the world, 7083. See CHARITY. The Lord appeared to the spirits of Mercury, in the Sun of heaven, to the spirits of Jupiter, and to those who have seen Him on this earth, 7173. The Divine proceeding immediately from the Lord, and the other successive, do not affect heaven, but they are as girdles from a flame-coloured zone around the Sun, which is the Lord, 7270:2. There is light in heaven more luminous than the light on earth, and that light is from the Lord, 3195:2. The Lord is Light: shown, 3195:4. The Divine Human of the Lord is what flows into heaven, and makes heaven, 3038. The Lord as to the Divine Human is He who reigns universally in all things of heaven, and in all things of the Word, 8864:3, 8865. The Divine Human of the Lord is the All in heaven, because they [who are there] cannot think of the Divine Itself illustrated, 7211. They who are in heaven are in the life of the Lord, 7212. In the hells they are against the Lord, but they are willing to hear the Father, the Creator of the universe, mentioned an indication that the Lord rules heaven, 6197:2. All in heaven look to the Lord, and they are kept looking to Him by means of love to Him, and also by charity towards the neighbour: illustrated, 9828:2. All in the heavens turn the face to the Lord, and they who are outside heaven turn backwards from Him, 9864:2. All turn themselves to those things which they love; thus they who are in the heavens turn to the Lord, 10130:4. All turn themselves according to their loves, and in heaven all turn to the Lord in every turning, since the Lord turns them to Himself, 10189:3. As soon as an angel is elevated into the Divine sphere he perceives the Lord as to the Divine Human, 9933:2.

Correspondence and Conjunction. All things in nature represent the Lord's kingdom, see REPRESENTATION. The whole heaven relates to the Lord, 551, 552. With the Lord alone is there a correspondence of the Human with the Divine, 1414e. There exist a parallelism and a correspondence between the Lord and man as to celestial things, 1831; not as to spiritual things, 1832. Heaven corresponds to the Lord, and man as to all things in general and particular to heaven; and thence heaven is the Grand Man, 3624-3649. See MAN (homo). The Lord, in the supreme sense, is the Grand Man, and He came into the world to make the Human Divine, and that all things might have reference to Him, 3637. They who are in heaven are in the Lord, yea, in His body, 3637, 3638. The Lord is the Sun of heaven, and there is light therefrom in which is intelligence, and heat in which is love; and thence there are correspondents, 3636, 3643. The Lord is the common centre, and everyone in heaven is a centre of all influxes in the heavenly form, 3633, 3641. The Lord also rules the hells, 3642e. Man is so created that the Divine things of the Lord descend through him into nature, and ascend as it were from nature, 3702. Thus the Lord is the first and the last, 3702:2. What comes to pass from the influx of the Lord's life, 3741-3743. See LIFE. Concerning the influx of life from the Lord, see LIFE. Concerning the Lord's influx mediately through heaven, and immediately from Himself, see INFLUX. There is a conjunction of the Lord with man in his impurity, 2053:2. There is no conjunction with the Supreme Divine of the Lord, but with His Divine Human, because an idea respecting the Divine Human can be held, but respecting the Divine Itself there is none; concerning which, 4211:2. There is a conjunction with the Divine Rational of the Lord, and of the nations with the Divine Natural and the Divine Sensual, 4211e.

The Esse and Existere. Jehovah, or the Infinite Esse, cannot appear to man except by means of the Human; thus it was the Lord, who was seen of old time; neither can He flow in with man except by means of the Lord's Human Essence, 1676e, 1990:3, 2016:2, 2034e. In the Lord is the Infinite, thus the Esse; and from the Lord, not in the Lord, is the Eternal, thus the Existere, 3938:2. The Most Ancient Church could not adore the Infinite Esse, but the Infinite Existere, because this is as a man; and the Lord came that He might become the Infinite Existing, in which was the Infinite Esse, 4687:2. The Divine of the Lord in Itself is far above His Divine in heaven; concerning which, 8760:2. The Human of the Lord is Divine, because from the Esse of the Father: illustrated by the likeness of fathers in children, 10269. Jehovah was intimately in all things in general and particular with the Lord, 1902:3.

The Internal and External. Concerning the Lord's Internal, Rational, and External, or Material Man, see INTERNAL, RATIONAL, and EXTERNAL. Concerning the Internal Man of the Lord, 49632. What is meant by the Interior with the Lord, 1926. As to His Internal He was one with Jehovah the Father, 2004e, 2005, 2018, 2025:4; and the Lord is called the Father, 2005. The Lord's Internal was Jehovah, because it was conceived and born of Jehovah as the Father, 1815. The Lord's Internal was Jehovah when united to the Human, 1999:4. The Divine Human was not only conceived, but also born of Jehovah, that is, of the Lord Himself, 2803:4. The quality of the influx of the Internal Man by means of the Interior into the External, with the Lord, 1707.

Why Born into the World. The Lord is called the seed of the woman, 256. That the Lord was about to come into the world and make a sacrifice was known to the ancients, is plain from this, that they sacrificed their sons, 2818:2. The reason of the Lord's coming into the world; He was born a man, 1676, 1990:3, 2016:2, 2034e. Why in the fulness of time the Lord came into the world, that is, in the consummation of the age, or when there was not any good, not even natural good, remaining, 3398:4. Unless the Lord had come into the world all things would have perished; several things it is not necessary to inquire into, 1676. They could not have been saved who were in external worship, unless the Lord had come into the world, 2457. The Lord came into the world that He might save the spiritual, 2661:2, 2716. The Lord willed to be born a man so that He also could be the Light to those who were in dense darkness,-namely, those who had removed themselves so far from good and truth, 3195:3. The Divine Truth flowed through heaven into the human race; but because this did not suffice, when man removed himself from good, the Lord came into the world, and made the Human Divine, so that Divine Truth might proceed from His Divine Human, and thus He might save the man who would receive good, 4180:5. The human race is of such a nature that men worship that of which they have some perception, and in which is the Divine, therefore also the Lord came into the world: illustrated, 4733. That the Lord willed to be born on our Earth was on account of the Word, 9350-9362. See WORD.

The Lord's Heredity and State when Born. The Lord's hereditary nature from Jehovah was Divine; from the mother it was evil, 1414, 1444:2. The Lord had hereditary evil from the mother, 1444; against which He fought, but He had no actual evil, 1444:2, 1573. The Lord expelled the evil and falsity which were from the hereditary nature from the mother, 3036. The Lord alone had celestial seed, 1438. The Lord alone was born a spiritual-celestial man, 4592:3, 4594:2. Concerning the Lord's Natural Good, which was Divine to Himself from birth, 4641; which is represented by Esau, 4641. That Divine Good of the Lord does not fail under the apprehension of the understanding, but generally flows in, 4642. The Lord was born as another man as to those things which are from the mother, but Divine from the Father, 4963:3. The Inmost of the Lord in the world was Divine, but the clothings, or exteriors were the human from the mother, in which was evil, 5041. In the Lord the voluntary from conception was Divine Good, but the voluntary by means of birth from the mother was evil; wherefore it was rejected, and a new voluntary was prepared in its place by means of the intellectual; thus from His own power, 5157:3. In infancy the Lord was in ignorance, as another man; and He successively reclaimed Himself from its shade, and admitted wisdom into Himself, by His own power, 2523:2. That the Lord was instructed as another man is confirmed from the Word, 1457, 1461.

Temptations and Combats. The Lord admitted temptations into Himself, and prepared Himself for them, 2816. The Lord by means of temptations made all things with Himself Divine, even the vessels recipient of truth, 3318e. By means of temptations admitted into Himself the Lord subdued all the hells, and reduced all things to order, and made the Human in Himself Divine. 4286:8. The Lord admitted into Himself temptations from the angels, 4295:3. The Lord's Internal Man was Jehovah; the Interior and External Man were made Jehovah by means of temptations and victories, 1725, 1729, 1733. The Lord was made Righteousness as to the Human Essence by means of temptations and victories, from His own power, 1813. That the Lord is Righteousness was foretold by the Prophets, 1813:3. When in temptations Jehovah appeared as if absent, 1815:2. The Divine of the Lord could not be tempted, with the Lord, 2795:2. The Lord as to Good could not be tempted, but as to Truth; the reason, 2813. Divine Truth could not be tempted, but rational truth, 2814. The Lord endured temptations the most grievous of all, 1663, 1668. The Lord's temptations were the most monstrous, and had with them despair concerning the end, 1787, 1820. The Lord underwent the most grievous temptations, and this from love Divine, that He might save the human race; and so He made the Human in Himself Divine: references, 9528e. The Lord induced upon Himself various states when He underwent temptations; concerning which, 2786, 2795. The Lord's state of humiliation, 1785. The passion of the cross was the last of the Lord's temptations, by means of which the Human was fully united to the Divine, 2776:2. That the Lord suffered for the human race, and so took away their sins, is not the case; but the passion of the cross was the last of temptations, by means of which He united the Human to the Divine; and thus by the union men can be saved, 2776:2. The passion of the cross was not to reconcile the Father, and to do several other things which are believed, and which involve contradictions, but it was the last of the combat of temptation: illustrated, 10659. From love towards the whole human race the Lord fought against the love of self and the love of the world; concerning which loves, 1690:3, 1691e. From His first boyhood to the last hour of life the Lord fought, 1690. The angels were with the Lord when He fought; to whom He gave power, 1752. The Lord alone fought from Divine love, whilst all others fought from self out of the love of self and the world, 1812. Evil genii and spirits fought against the Lord's love, which is only for the whole human race, 1820. The Lord fought with the hells, and reduced all things into order, when He was in the world, and does so to eternity; and thus He bore iniquities and sins: illustrated and shown, 9937:3.

Union of the Human and Divine. See also Glorification infra. The unition of the Lord with Jehovah is not such as that between two persons, but is real, so that they are one, 3737. There is a union of the Divine Itself with the Human of the Lord, and therefrom His Human is Divine: shown, 10372. The Lord successively progressed to union with Jehovah, 1864. The union was not made at once, but successively, 2033. The Lord advanced from the ultimates of order to the interiors progressively, when He made the human Divine, 4585:2. There is a union of the Divine Essence of the Lord with His Human, but the Lord's union with man is conjunction, 2021. The Lord in the union of His Human Essence with the Divine looked to His conjunction with the human race, 2034:2. The union was made by means of temptations and victories, 1737. There was a reciprocal union from the Lord, of the Divine Essence with the Human, and of the Human with the Divine, 2004. In the Lord there was a reciprocal unition of the Divine Good and the Divine Truth, thus of His Divine and Divine Human: shown, l0067:5. The Lord united the Human Essence to the Divine from His own power: demonstrated, 1921:2. The Lord united the Divine Essence to the Human, and the Human to the Divine by His own power, 2025:2, 5; and so He alone was made Righteousness, 2025:2. The Lord made the Human in Himself Divine from His own power, 5005, 5045. In the Lord the inmost of life was Jehovah, and from that the Lord made His Human Divine, thus from His own power, 6716:2. Jehovah was His soul; and the Human Essence was made Divine 1921:2. The Lord's Human Essence was made Divine from Divine Love, 6872:2. The Divine Love Itself made the Human of the Lord Divine, as heavenly love makes a man new; and the case is as the soul, which forms the body to its own image, and as the end forms the cause, and the cause forms the effect, 4727:2. Unless the Human of the Lord were Divine it could never be united to the Divine Itself, on account of the ardour of Infinite Love, which would otherwise consume it, 6849:5. The Lord made the Human Divine by means of mediums, but did not assume anything from the mediums 4065. The Lord also had societies of spirits and angels with Him, because He willed that all things should be done according to order, and because so He reduced heaven and hell to order; nevertheless He took nothing from them, but by means of them from the Divine: illustrated, 4075. The Divine Human came forth from the Divine Good, and was born from the Divine Truth, to which Good the Divine Truth from the Human was conjoined, 3194, 3210. Between the Good of the Lord's Rational and the Truth conjoined to it there is not a marriage, but a covenant like the conjugial covenant; but the union of the Divine Essence with the Human, and the Human with the Divine, is a marriage, 3211. The Divine Rational of the Lord was and existed, 2625. How the Lord's Rational was conceived and born, and made Divine, 2093. The Lord successively made His Rational Divine, 2632:2. The Lord willed to make His Rational Divine by means of the general life, as to truth, 3033:2. The Lord made His Rational Divine, both as to Good and as to Truth, by His own power; this in the ordinary way, 3141. The Divine Natural in the Lord came forth from the Divine Good of the Rational by means of the Divine Truth there, 3283. By means of cognitions the Lord was united to celestial things, and by His own power He conjoined the Divine Essence to the Human, 1616:3. He implanted cognitions in the celestial things of infancy, 1616:3. The Lord arranged all things with Him into a heavenly form, 1928:2. The state of the Lord's Divine, when He made the Human Divine does not fall into the apprehension of anyone, not even the angelic, except by means of appearances and the representative of man s regeneration, 4237. The Lord, so far as He was united to Jehovah, spake with Jehovah as with Himself; when otherwise, as with another, 1745. The Lord united the Divine Truth to the Divine Good, which was in Himself: illustrated, 10047:2, 10052. See also GLORIFICATION. The Lord, when He was in the world, made His Human Divine Truth, and then He called the Divine Good the Father, 7499; afterwards He made Himself Divine Good, and then the Divine Truth proceeded from His Divine Human, 7499. The Lord, when He was in the world, was Divine Truth, but, when He was glorified, was Divine Good; from these things several arcana in those things which the Lord has spoken concerning Himself and the Father, may be known; concerning which, 8724. The union of the Human with the Divine Itself in the Lord is the first truth of the Church, to which all things therein refer themselves, 10728, 10730. They within the Church who are in good and charity have not distinguished between the Divine and the Human of the Lord, but they who are not in the good of charity, 2326. He who is in worldly and corporeal loves cannot believe that the Human of the Lord was made Divine, 3212. As the spiritual disagree concerning the most essential, namely, the Divine Human and Holy of the Lord, what will they not do concerning the rest? 3241:3.

Glorification. The Lord by means of union even as to the external man is Jehovah and Life; which is glorification, 1603. Even as to the Human, the Lord has life in Himself, 2658:2. The Lord's state of humiliation and His state of glorification; what the difference is; in the former state He spoke with Jehovah as if with another, in the latter as with Himself, 1999:2, [1745.] The Lord interceded in a state of humiliation, not in a state of glorification: then He showed mercy, 2250. The process of man's regeneration is represented in that by which the Lord made His Human Divine, 3043:3. The regeneration of man is an image of the glorification of the Lord; a comparison 3138:2, [4237.] The Lord successively glorified Himself, and grew in wisdom; He was made Truth from the Divine, afterwards Divine Truth, and lastly Divine Good, 7014, [6864, 9199:5.] By means of the passion of the cross the Lord fully glorified His own Human, and subjugated the hells: shown, 10655:2. All man's salvation is from this, that the Lord glorified His own Human, and subjugated the hells: shown, 10655:4, 10659.

The Maternal Human. The Lord, when He was in the world, made His own Human Divine: references, 93l5e; and He expelled all the human which was from the mother, until at length He was not Mary's son: references, 9315. The Lord put off all the human from the mother, so that He was no longer her son, 2159. The Lord put off everything human so that He was not the son of Mary, 2574:2. The Lord thus put off the maternal human so that He was no longer His mother's son, 2649:2. The Divine in the Lord appeared, as it were, absent, so far as He was in the human from the mother. and yet present as far as He was in the Human made Divine, 7058:3. Servant is predicated respecting the Lord when He was in a state of humiliation in the Human, 2159:3. Natural domestic good with the Lord, after it had served as a medium, was rejected, 3518.

The Body, and Resurrection. The Lord alone rose again as to the body, 1729. The Lord, by His own power, made both the rational and the sensual, and the body itself Divine, wherefore He alone rose again with the body, 2083. The Lord made the body itself in Himself Divine, and He alone rose with the body also, 5078:2. That the Lord even as to the body is the Divine Itself is confirmed from the formation of the soul in a human being; thus that the Lord's Human was not as the human of a man: illustrated, 10125:2.

The Divine Human. The obscurity of the spiritual is illuminated from the Divine Human of the Lord, 2716. The Divine Human of the Lord is everything of worship, and everything of doctrine, 2811. The Divine Human was from eternity, and before the Lord was born; and it was Jehovah in heaven, thus clad in the Human; and afterwards, when He was born a man, it became the Essence per se, 3061:2. The Divine Human of the Lord from eternity was Jehovah passing through heaven, 6280. The Lord from eternity was the Divine Itself passing through the heavens, 10579:4. This was in the human form, which He actually put on in the world, 10579:4. The Lord as to the Divine Human was called a servant, because He served and ministered: shown, 8241. Three arcana-the Divine Human of the Lord came forth from the Divine Itself; it was not only conceived, but also born; and the Divine Human of the Lord was the Name of Jehovah, 2628.

The Lord's Perception and Thought. The Lord's first perception, 1442. The Lord had perception of all things in general and particular, and that above all human perception, 19l9:3. Why the unition of the Lord's Divine Essence is so much treated of in the internal sense, and His perception and thought, 2249. The Lord knew all things in Himself; what they were, of what quality they were, and whence they were, 1701:2. The Lord thought from the Lord, or from His very Self, differently from other men, 1904:3, 1914, 1935. The Lord acquired to Himself wisdom and intelligence by means of continual revelations, from the Divine and the Divine Love, 2500:2. The Lord had infinite wisdom, because in Divine Love, 2572. In the Lord's love there was a supereminence of all wisdom and intelligence, 2500e.

The Word and Divine Truth. Why the internal sense treats of the whole life of the Lord, 2528. The supreme sense has respect to the Lord; the relative sense, to His kingdom, 3245. The Lord is the Word in the supreme sense, in the internal sense, and the literal sense, 3393. The Lord is the Word and Divine Doctrine in the threefold sense-the supreme, the internal, and the literal, 3712. The Lord is the Word, or doctrine, 2533e. The Lord is doctrine itself, because He is the Word, 2859. The Lord as to the Divine Human was from eternity Truth itself, and the same after He was born in the world, 2803:4, 3l95:3. What Divine Truth is, and what Truth Divine, 2814e. Truth Divine is that which was scourged and crucified by the Jews, 2813. The Divine Spiritual, or Divine Truth is not in the Lord, but proceeds from the Lord: illustrated, 3969:16. The Divine Truth is the Spirit of truth; concerning which in John, 3969:17. The Lord made Himself to be the Divine Law, or Divine Truth, while in the world, 6716:3. The Lord, when He was in the world, first made the Human in Himself Divine Truth, or the Divine Law, afterwards Divine Good, 6864, [7014] The Lord was Divine Truth when in the world: shown, 9199:3; and was made Divine Good when glorified, and He departed out of the world, 9199:5. References respecting these things, [9199]. Then the Divine Truth proceeds from the Divine Good, even as the light of the universe proceeds from the sun, 9199e. The Lord made His own Human Divine Truth, and by degrees Divine Good: illustrated by man's regeneration, 10076:5; and the two states of the Lord's glorification: illustrated by the two states of man's regeneration, 10076. Concerning the conjunction of Truth proceeding immediately from the Lord with Truth proceeding mediately, 7055 7056, 7058. See INFLUX. The Divine Itself spake through the Divine Truth, which was the Lord in the world, and afterwards proceeded from the Lord, 8127. The Divine Truth proceeds from the Lord's Divine Human: shown, 9398. How the Divine Truth proceeds from the Lord and flows in: illustrated by means of circles, 9407. The Divine Truth proceeding from the Lord cannot be heard or perceived by anyone until it has passed through the heavens, and then through spirits, who are called the Holy Spirit, 6982, 6996. The Divine Truth also, which is uttered, is from the Lord, not only mediately, but also immediately, 7004. The Lord spake by representatives and significatives, because from the Divine Itself, 2900. What the fruit of faith is; it is charity; this is love to the Lord, that is, the Lord, who is the internal sense of the Word, 1873.

The Coming of the Lord. It was known to the sons of the Most Ancient Church that the Lord was about to come, 1123. The worst part of them knew that the Lord was about to come, but expected He would be an old and bearded man, 1124. As often as the Lord comes the Church is vastated, and a new Church is established by means of manifest appearances, inspirations, and the Word; but once only in person, 4060:5. The representatives of the Church ceased by means of the coming of the Lord: illustrated, 4535:4. Before the Lord's coming there was a Divine transflux through the Celestial Kingdom, and then they had power, 6371, 6372; and thus the Divine Human then ceased, 6371:2; but because it was weak, and thence disordered, the Lord came into the world, 6373:2. Before the Lord's coming into the world there was no Spiritual Kingdom, 6372. The coming of the Son of Man is the Lord's presence in everyone, 3900:9. The Lord appearing in a cloud in the human form, and in splendour, with the inhabitants of a certain earth in the universe, and spirits on the right and left with Him; separation and the Last Judgment, 10810, 10811; He descended into the lower earth and enacted similar things, 10810:2. He appeared according to reception, 10810:2.

The Lord's Names. What the Son of Man and the Son of God are with respect to the Lord, 21592. Truth Divine is the Son of Man, who underwent temptations: shown, 2813. The Lord, in the Old Testament, is the same as Jehovah Zebaoth, and as Jehovah; and the Lord, in the New Testament, wherein Jehovah is not named for reasons, is the same as Jehovah; He would not have been believed to be Jehovah, 2921. The two names of the Lord, Jesus Christ; what they signify, 3004-3011. See CHRIST. In the sense of the letter a distinction is made between Jehovah and the Lord, but they are one in the internal sense; the reason, 3035: The Lord was distinguished by various names in the Ancient Church, and afterwards they worshipped each one separately, 3667. The Lord is called the Lord from Divine Good: shown, 9167:2; and good is the Lord: illustrated, 9167:2. The Lord is Jehovah in the Word; the Divine which He called the Father is the Divine Good in Him; and He is the only and one God, 9194: references, 9194e.

Appearances Respecting the Lord. The Lord is never angry with anyone, still less curses him, 245. Anger is predicated [of the Lord], and that He kills; how it is to be understood, 592. That the Lord is angry, punishes, or kills, is according to the letter; but it is altogether otherwise according to the internal sense, 1874. That the Lord is angry and does evil is a fallacy; when man does it himself; truths which in general explain this, 6071:2. To the Lord is attributed anger and evil; the reason, 6997. Evils, such as hatred, anger, wrath, and fury, are predicated of the Lord, when yet it is the contrary, 3605i, 3607, 3614:3. Many evils are ascribed to the Lord in the sense of the letter, but they are from permission; for He rules all things from will, good-pleasure, leave, and permission, 2447:3. The Lord never opposes Himself to anyone, but appears to do so when a man, or spirit opposes himself to the Divine: illustrated, 7042. Evil spirits ascribed the evil of penalty to the Lord; how the case is, 592:2. The Lord curses none, but is merciful to all, 1093. The Lord damns no one, curses no one, although it is so said in the literal sense of the Word, 2395. How it is, in the internal sense of the Word, that it is said, 'Lead us not into temptation,' 1875. Why the Lord questions man, when He knows all things in general and particular, 1931. Why the Lord questions men, when yet He first knows all things, 2693.

Seriatim Statements of the Doctrine. The doctrine concerning the Lord, 10815-10831. The primary of the Church is to acknowledge God, 10816. They who are within the Church ought to acknowledge the Lord, His Divine and Human, to believe in Him and love Him: shown, 10817. They who do not acknowledge the Lord within the Church, cannot be saved: shown, 10818. No one can be conjoined to God, except by the Lord, and in the Lord: shown, 10818. The Lord is God: illustrated and shown, 10819. They who are in the light of heaven see the Divine in the Lord, not they who are in the light of the world alone, 10820. They who have an idea of three persons in the Divine think of three; otherwise they who have an idea of three in one person, 10821. What comes to pass when there is a trine in the Lord; concerning which, 10822. It may also be seen from this, that there is a likeness of a father in sons, 10823. The Divine and the Human are one person, from the received faith of the Creed of Athanasius, 10824. He rose again with the whole body, otherwise than men: shown, 10825. They who make the Lord's Human the same as the human of another man, do not think of several matters; concerning which, 10826; and therefore all power belongs to Him in the heavens and on the earths, 10827. The Lord saved the human race by this power, subjugated the hells, and glorified His own Human: shown, 10828; and the passion of the cross was that by means of which the last victory was gained, 10828. To love the Lord is to live according to His precepts: shown, 10829. And then He put off the human from the mother, and put on the Human from the Father, 10830. Spirits from some earth in the universe on the Lord, 10736-10738. They are confounded by strangers through the idea of three persons in one God; the quality of which idea: illustrated, 10736. They can have the idea of three in one, as of an angel-the internal invisible, the external visible under the human form, and the proceeding; and they know that God is; they are also confirmed by reason that the ancients similarly acknowledged God as a man; concerning which in the Word, 10736, 10737. They think respecting God that He is a man, and perceive Him under the human form, and they know it; they are confirmed from the ancients on our earth perceiving God similarly, 10737. They can conceive the Trine in God, as the trine of an angel-his inmost invisible, his external visible under the human form, and his proceeding; so concerning the Divine, and concerning the Lord, 10738. That the Human of the Lord is Divine illustrated from many things from the Word and from rational consideration; thus that His Inmost is what is called the Father, His External, which is the Human, is called the Son, and the proceeding Divine, the Holy Spirit: illustrated, 10738.

Various Particulars. The Divine Human and Holy Proceeding of the Lord ought not to be violated; and the good of charity ought not to be violated; who they are that violate, 2359. Aristotle on the Lord, 4658:2. A distinction between the Divine and the Human of the Lord was made in a council, that the Papal power might subsist; from experience, 4738:3. The Lord is the Father when man is competent to judge for himself, and the natural father is no longer as before, 6492. With Christians the Lord must be the neighbour from whom [there is good,] thus the neighbour is the good which is from the Lord, 6706, 6711. See NEIGHBOUR. The Lord is Jacob and Israel, then He is the God of Jacob and the Holy One of Israel, 3305:7. Concerning the Lord's Sensual, which is Lot, 1428, 1434, 1547.

The Holy of Holies in the Tabernacle and in the Temple rd. the Divine Human of the Lord; and its quality was rd. by those things which were therein, 3210. When to obey, or hearken to the voice of Jehovah is predicated of the Lord, it d. the union of the Divine Essence with the Human by means of temptations, 3381. When to observe ordinances, precepts, statutes, and laws is predicated of the Lord, it d. to unite the Divine Essence to the Human by means of continual temptations, from His very Self, 3382. By Abraham the servant, Israel the servant, Jacob the servant, and David the servant, the Divine Human of the Lord is understood, because it serves as that by means of which there is access to the Divine, and that by which there is salvation for the human race, 3441.

Love is spiritual conjunction, 5807. Loves conjoin, whatever loves they are, 7501. Love is attractive, and most of all the Divine Love of the Lord, 8604:3. Love is the good resulting from changes of state and variations in forms or substances of which the human mind consists, 5807:2. Love is that from which man's life is; and they are consociated according to loves in the other life; also heat and light in the natural world correspond to love and faith in the spiritual world, 7081-7086. See also CHARITY. A man is, and a spirit is altogether as his love: illustrated, 6872:2; thus the Lord as to the Human is Divine from Divine Love, 6872:2. In the other life all are forms of their own loves, 10153:2. A man, an angel, and a spirit are each as his love, 10177:4. A man is such as his love is, even as to the understanding, 10284:2. Nothing lives except love or affection, 1589:2. The good of love is the esse of a thing which conjoins, and the non-esse of a thing is that which disjoins, 5002.

All turn themselves to that which they love; in heaven, continually to the Lord, 10130:2. Presences are according to the affinities of love, in the other life; and thence also is the idea of space: illustrated, 10146:3. All turn themselves, in the other life, according to their loves; and in heaven all turn to the Lord so far as the Lord turns them to Himself, in every turning, 10l89:3. As love constitutes heaven, so hatred constitutes hell, 693, 694. The love of self is hell, 4776:2. Concerning the extension of love into the heavens, collaterally and successively, from one heaven into another, 9961. Jehovah is love, 1735. The quality of the Lord's love, 1799:2. That the Divine Love is love towards all may be clear from the influx of parents' love towards their posterities successively, with increase, 1865:2. The Lord's love transcends all human understanding; concerning which, 2077. The Lord's love towards the whole human race, from which He fought, 1789. The Lord alone fought from love Divine, whilst all others fought from self, out of the love of self, 1813; they fought against the Lord's love, which was for the salvation of the whole human race, 1820:4. Love towards the whole human race was the Lord's life in the world, 2253. Angels are in wisdom and intelligence, because they are in love to the Lord, and because infinite things are in love Divine, 2572:3. Wisdom and intelligence are present in love, and in the Lord's love all wisdom and intelligence are supereminent, 2572:4. Scientifics are arranged in a heavenly form from which man is in heavenly love, 6690. All scientifics are in loves: illustrated from brutes, 6323:2.

Loves are they which conjoin in the other life, 6195, 6196. Conjugial love is the fundamental of all loves, 686. What conjugial love is, see MARRIAGE. Conjugial love, love towards infants, and mutual love constitute the celestial things of the Lord's kingdom, and succeed one another, 2039. Love is spiritual heat, but such as the love is so is the heat, 2146. Love and affection are heats inspired from the Lord's life, 3338.

The love of infants, see INFANT. Concerning the essence of celestial love, 1419:2. The quality of spheres in the other life is illustrated from those who love themselves, 1505. The Lord's mercy, which is of love, is described, 1735. Conscience is the intermediate between the Lord and man if it is not, it is the love of self that occupies it, 1862. Heavenly love continually flows in from the Lord, but the love of self and the world impedes, 2041:2. With those who are not in the life of faith, love, when it is named, is as it were a darksome mist, 2343:7. They who are without love do not attend to all those things which the Lord said about love; to which references are cited, 2371e. By the influx of love, and the affection therefrom, into the scientific, truths appear, and thence they are elevated into the rational, 3074. The Divine love of the Lord is celestial and spiritual; but that distinction is relative to those who receive it, 3325:7. With those things which enter into the memory, affections connect themselves; and they are adjoined and reproduced together; and so the affection of good is adjoined to truths from the Lord, 3336:2. See also REGENERATION. From the end the quality of a man's love and affection is known; concerning which, 3796:2. Everything of science is present in loves, also everything of intelligence and wisdom; and these are receptacles of the influx of heaven: illustrated, 7750. Man is born into sheer ignorance; a sign that he is in contrary loves, 7750:2. The Lord and the Divine Love appear to everyone according to his love,-as a creating and renewing fire to those who are in goods; but as a consuming fire to those who are in evils, 9434:3 How the goods of love succeed in the heavens, 9873. There are three heavens, in each of which there is an internal, and an external; and what loves are in each, 9933:2. Worship is not to be applied to the loves of man, but to heavenly loves, 10307-10309.

Love to the Lord and the Neighbour. Love to the Lord is the likeness, and charity is the image, 1013:2. They who place the essential of salvation in faith do not even see, nor do they attend to those things which the Lord often said concerning love and charity; concerning which passages are adduced, 1017. Love to the Lord and towards the neighbour is the celestial, 1824. The difference between love and charity, 2023. He who is in love to the Lord cannot be otherwise than in love towards the neighbour, 2227. Heavenly freedom is love to the Lord and towards the neighbour, see FREEDOM. There are men of three kinds within the Church-they who are in love to the Lord, they who are in charity towards the neighbour, and they who are in the affection of truths, 3653. How the case is with the three heavens; in the first there are they who are in the affection of truth, in the second they who are in charity towards the neighbour, and in the third they who are in love to the Lord, 3691:3. Man would be born into all intelligence and wisdom if he were in love towards the neighbour and in love to God, thus if according to his own order, 6323:3. No one can know what good is, unless he knows what love to God and towards the neighbour is; and no one knows what evil is, unless he knows what the love of self and the world is, 7178. Love to the Lord and love towards the neighbour constitute the whole heaven, and in them there is infinite variety, 9002. To love good and truth is to love the neighbour and God, 10310. Love to the Lord is holiness itself, 3852. The good of love to the Lord from the Lord is the one only good: illustrated, 9863. True worship and true love of the Lord consist in doing His precepts: illustrated and shown, 10143:5, 10153e. To love the Lord is to live according to His precepts, 10578:3. To have faith in the Lord and to love Him is to will and do His precepts: illustrated and shown from many things, 10645:2. Angelic love is to love the neighbour more than oneself, and such love may be given; from experience, 548. Love is the greater luminary, and never by any means faith, except by means of love from the Lord, 30-38. Celestial angels perceive whatever pertains to faith by means of love, from the Lord, 202. The celestial Church has faith by means of love, 337, 393, 398. There are consanguinities and affinities of love, so also of faith, 917. What the fruit of faith is; it is charity, and this is love to the Lord, which is the Lord, who is the internal sense of the Word, 1873.

Mutual Love. Heaven and the joys therefrom are mutual love, 547. See HEAVEN. Heaven is mutual love, 2130:2, 2131. The case of societies in heaven is according to the differences of all mutual love, 684; as comparatively is the case with consanguinities and affinities on earth, 685, 917. All mutual love and all loves exist from the marriage of good and truth, 2733:2, 2737, 2738. The case of loves born therefrom is as consanguinities and affinities in marriage, 2739. See AFFINITY and MARRIAGE. By means of mutual love in the other life there is all consociation; by the love of self there is all destruction; described, 2057. That mutual love conjoins is from the Lord by means of the internal man, 1594:4. So far as men are in mutual love they become heirs of the Lord's kingdom, 1802:2. They who are in mutual love have the life of the Lord, 1799, 1803.

To love the Lord d. to receive the good of love, 8880. To love d. the delight of remembrance, when used respecting those who are in truths, and not in good, 8986.

Love of Self and of the World (amor sui et mundi). [See also LOVE.] What the love of self is, 2444. The love of self is contrary to mutual love, 760. The loves of self and the world are contrary to heavenly love; and so far as they are discerned and removed, heavenly love appears and operates, 2041:2. They who are in the evil of the love of self are against all good whatsoever, 4750:3. Heavenly good vanishes according to the degree of increasing concupiscence from the loves of self and the world, 8487:2. Where the loves of self and the world reign, there the truths and goods of the Church are always fought against: illustrated, 10455. The quality of the love of self in worship, 1304, 1306, 1308, 1321, 1322. Worship applied to man's loves is infernal; and it must be applied to heavenly loves, 10307-10309. To imitate affections, as if they were heavenly, from the proprium, is infernal, 10309. Spheres in the other life illustrated from those who love themselves, 1505. An example of one who, moved by the love of self, was puffed up; how, 1506. The quality of the sphere of authority, 1507, 1508. See AUTHORITY. The love of self most of all disjoins the external man from the internal; which love is described, 1594. Lust is of some filthy love, 1666:2. The Lord alone fought from heavenly love, whilst all others fought from self, out of the love of self and the world, 1813. Conscience is intermediate between the Lord and man, if it is not, it is the love of self that occupies, 1862. See PROFRIUM, HATRED, HELL. They who place merit in good acts are in the love of self; which is described, 2027. They who are within the Church must most especially be purified from these loves; the reason, 2051. The love of self is destructive of heavenly order and form, 2057. All they who come into the other life are eaten up with the love of self and the world, 2122. . See JUDGMENT. How filthy the love of self is, is described; and from what things they who are in the love of self may be known, 2219:2. Everyone can see what diabolical forms they are who are in the love of self, 2363:3. Infernal freedom belongs to the love of self and the world, see FREEDOM. What it is to be great in heaven, and what to be least, 3417:2. The loves of self and gain are earthly, and induce darkness, 3413. For the first time there is life when the life of the love of self and the world is extinguished, 3610. Concerning corporeal spirits who regard themselves in all things; and they have no intelligence, 4221. They who are in the love of self and the world are outside the Grand Man, 4225. Concerning those who are in the life of the body; they wish to rule over others; several things from experience, 4227. They who are in avarice are more in the love of self than others, although it does not appear outwardly, 4751:2. The quality of those who have been proud outwardly, but not inwardly; from experience, 4947. They who have despised others in comparison with themselves endeavour to ascend; from experience, 4949. Concerning those who have appeared just and grave, and yet have lived only the life of the love of self and the world; their quality and their hells, 5721. See DiSEAsE. Thoughts concerning corporeal and worldly things draw a man down so that he cannot have communication with heaven; an experience, 6210. Hatred is hidden in the love of self, 6667. No one can know what good is, unless he knows what love to God and towards the neighbour is; and no one knows what evil is unless he knows what the love of self and the world is, 7178. Societies have been made empires and kingdoms for the sake of the love of self and the world; concerning which, 7364. These loves begin to reign when a man judges for himself and makes his own decision, 7493. They who are in the loves of self and the world have not life in themselves; their life is called death, and they the dead: shown, 7494. They are detained in the other life by evil spirits by means of insinuations into the loves; and then they can never be separated, except by the Lord's Divine aid, 7501. Evil is from man, because the good that flows in from the Lord he turns to self, 7643. If the loves of self and the world are as means, and not as the end, they are good, 7819, 7820. Pride is an endeavour and effort to domineer, 8678. The love of self rushes to every degree of possibility, even to the Divine; and that in the hells is restrained, 8678. See also what things have been said and shown respecting the love of self, 2041; and other references cited, 8678e. When man is being regenerated the loves of self and the world are to be inverted, so that they are as means, and not as the end, 8995:4. To do good for the sake of self and the world ought to be the sole of the foot, and not the head, 9210. The most ancient people lived distinctly in nations, families, and houses, and knew nothing of commanding from the love of self and the world; concerning their happy state of life, 10160. They who are in the love of self and the world are in externals separated from the internal, 10396; and their quality, 10396:2, 10400, 10407, 10409, 10412, 10422, 10423, 10429. See EXTERNAL, PROPRIUM. In the other life they turn themselves according to their loves, and men do so as to their interiors, 10420:2. The interiors of man actually turn themselves according to his loves, 10702:2. He who is led from self and his loves, thus from the proprium, cannot be saved: illustrated, 10731. Why love makes the life of man, 10740. They deny all things of the Church, 10744; and they have external bonds, and no internal, 10744; when these are taken away they rush into every wickedness, 10745; because this is the delight of their life which they concealed in the world, 10746.

Concerning the loves of self and the world, 7366-7377. The loves of self and the world with man make hell, 7366. The love of self reigns when a man regards himself in all things that he thinks and does, 7367. Love towards our own and friends is the love of self, because they constitute one, 7368. So far as a man is in the love of self, he removes himself from the love of the neighbour, thus from heaven, and is in hell, 7369. They who are in the love of self despise the neighbour, have hatred, are in revenge, and they are cruel, 7370. Their delight is the delight of that love, 7371. These things are the signs of the love of self, whatever they may appear in the external form, 7372. He is in the love of the world who only thinks and intends gain, caring nothing for the injury of the neighbour, 7373. They who by means of arts and cunning divert to themselves the goods of others, who envy others, and covet those things which belong to others, 7374. These two loves, so far as their curbs are relaxed, rush on; and man advances so far, even to the ends of the earth, yea, even to the throne of God, and are willing to be worshipped as gods, 7375. These loves are the origin of all evils, and they make hell with man, 7376. They are not in these loves who aspire to honours for the sake of the country, and also for opulence, because honours and wealth are the means of well-doing, 7377.

Love of Self and the World the Source of Evils. From the love of self and the world are all evils, 1307, 1308, 1691; and all falsities, 1321; and all persuasions of falsity, 1675:5. Evils and falsities are from the loves of self and the world, 7255. From the loves of self and the world exist all evils and falsities, 7488; therefore, so far as a man is in them he is not in charity, 7489; and to the same extent he does not know what charity, faith, conscience, the spiritual, heaven, hell, and the life after death are, 7490; for where they are, there the good of love and the truth of faith are rejected, extinguished, or perverted, 7491, 7492. The origins of evil are the loves of self and of the world, 8318:2. From the loves of self and the world flow all evils and falsities, and several things: references, 9335. From the love of self are all evils, which are enumerated, and hence there are diabolical things from them, 9348. From the love of self are all evils, especially from the love of commanding: somewhat illustrated, 10038:2. There are persuasions of falsity either of the love of self or of the love of the world; the difference, 1675:5. The love of self is destructive of human society, because all evils and disgraceful acts are therefrom, 2045:2. The love of sell and the world, when it reigns, makes the life of hell, 10741; from which are all evils; which are recounted, 10472. As mutual love constitutes heaven, so the love of self, or hatred, constitutes hell, 693, 694. The love of self is hell, 4776:8.
