[Wife (uxor). See MARRIAGE, WOMAN, MAN (vir). In ancient times wives called themselves dead; why, 3908. Why so many laws in the Jewish Church relate to the prerogative of a man (vir), and the obedience of a wife, 568. To be conjoined with one's own wife from passion only is natural, not spiritual, but to be conjoined with one's wife from conjugial love is spiritual-natural, 4992:2.

Wilderness d. that which as yet is scarcely vital, 1927; which is little inhabited and cultivated, and what is altogether uninhabited and uncultivated; the vastation of good and desolation of truth; and temptation: shown, 2708.

Man can hardly distinguish between truth and good, because hardly between thinking and willing, 9995:2. From the will man has [the power] to understand, 585. In every idea of thought there is something from the will, and there are innumerable things, 590, 803:2. What the understanding of truth and the will of good are, 634. The understanding of truth and will of good belong to no man, but they appear as if they were his, 633. The whole man is a semblance of his own will and understanding therefrom: illustrated from end, cause, and effect, 10076:2. Good is not appropriated to the man until it becomes of the will, 10109:2; illustrated, 10110. Goods and truths were implanted in the voluntary part with the man of the Most Ancient Church, not with the man of the Ancient and spiritual Church, 895, 927:2. In the antediluvians voluntary good was destroyed, and at the present day intellectual good is perishing, 2124. Man is regenerated as to the intellectual part, not as to the voluntary, 863, 875:2. The new will is formed by the Lord in the intellectual part, which is the conscience, 1023:2, 1043:3, [1044:2.] When a regenerated man does good, it is from the Lord by means of the new will, 928. Concerning the initiament of the new will from infancy, thus concerning the reception of good and truth, and concerning its succeeding state, 9296:2, 9297:2. Those things become of the life that are received in the will, 9386, 9393. Man's voluntary proprium must be separated that the Lord may be present, 1023:2, 1044:3. All falsity flows in from the proprium, 1047. They who are in the Celestial Kingdom correspond to the voluntary of man; they who are in the Spiritual Kingdom to his intellectual; and the case in heaven is as it is with man, 9835. All things relate to the understanding and will, because to truth and good, or to falsity and evil; and these two must be one, 10122:2. The book of life d. the interior memory, because in it are inscribed the things which belong to the will, 9386:2.

Wisdom (sapientia). The wisdom of the ancients (whereby natural things sd. spiritual things) is at the present time lost, 3179e. The Egyptians and Chaldeans called mystical science wisdom, 7296. All wisdom is from the Lord, 9943. They who have received Divine things from the Lord, namely love and charity, are endowed with wisdom; and they who have not received are stupid, 4420. Man is wise so far as he assigns all things of truth and good to the Lord, 10227:2. What intelligence is, and what wisdom, 1555:2. Wisdom and intelligence are present in love, 2500:3. Intelligence and wisdom grow to an immense degree in the other life, with those who are in charity, 1941e. They who have been in the love of self and the world, become of no intelligence, and grossly corporeal, 4220; an experience, 4221. The progression towards interior things appears plainly in the other life, as from mist into light, 4598:2. He who is in good, in the other life is in the faculty of becoming wise: illustrated, 5527:2. A man, if he has lived in the good of charity, comes into all wisdom in the other life, because that is present in his good, 5859:2. The angels have so great wisdom and intelligence because they are in love, 2572:3. The angels apprehend innumerable things of which man does not understand even the most general; an example, 3314:2. Wisdom, intelligence, and science are the sons of charity, 1226. What wisdom, intelligence, and order are; from a wise gentile, 2592.

Word (Verbum). See ENLIGHTENMENT, DOCTRINE, TRUTH, GOOD, [and APPEARANCE.] The Word of the Most Ancient and the Ancient Churches. The Word has been in all time, 2895. The Word precedes before the Church can be established, 3786:2. The Word in the Most Ancient Church was from revelation, and was inscribed on their hearts, 2896. Concerning the representatives and significatives with the men of the Most Ancient Church, 2896. The Word with the most ancient people was inscribed on their hearts, and the Lord was the Word to them; the Word with the ancient people was collected by them, and was a representative of the Lord, and a significative of His kingdom; thus it was the internal sense, and afterwards they had a written Word, both historical and prophetical; the internal sense has perished to-day, thus wisdom; until it is not known that there is an internal sense, 3432:2. The Ancient Church had a written Word, which perished, and it consisted of historical books which were called The Wars of Jehovah, and prophetical books which were called The Enunciations, quoted by Moses, 2897. This Word was Divine, like the Word in the Prophets: shown, 2897. The Ancient Church had inspired historical and prophetical books, cited by Moses, which were their Word, 2686. The Word of the Ancient Church; from Moses, 9942:5. The Word in the Ancient Church was therefrom [i.e. from the representatives and significatives collected by the men of the Most Ancient Church], 2897.

The Word in the Israelitish Church, and Its Styles. In the Word all things are representative and significative, 1619. Whence the representatives which are in the Word, and in the rites, arose, 2179:3. Several things in the Word have arisen from representatives in the other life, and from correspondences, 2763. That there was a Church in the land of Canaan from the most ancient times, and that there the Church continued, was because all things, there, were representative, and so the Word was written, in which each particular thing is representative and significative, 6516:2. The representatives of places in the land of Canaan, which are in the Word, were from the Most Ancient Church, which was there; concerning which, 3686:2. See CANAAN. The representatives of the Jewish Church, and of the Word, arose from the significatives of the Most Ancient Church; and the doctrinals of the Ancient Church consisted in such things, 920;4. Representatives and significatives arose from the Most Ancient Church, also among ancient profane writers, and it was then the only style, and was venerated among the Jews, 1756:2. The Word through Moses and the Prophets was composed by means of representatives and significatives, and it could not be -written in another style, that it might have an internal sense, by which a communication of heaven with earth is made, 2899. Prophetical Divine things were with others, which treat, in the internal sense, of the Lord; from the prophecy of Balaam, 2898. Wise men of ancient time were delighted with the Word, that there were representatives and significatives therein, 2592:2, 2593. The Word was written according to the doctrinal things of the ancients; the reason, 3419. The Word was written as to the sense of the letter in the most natural form, otherwise it would not be comprehended, 8783; and the erudite err [who say they would] receive the Word if it were otherwise written, and if heavenly things were plainly stated, 8783. The Word is written by means of pure correspondences, and, therefore, it has force, 8615:3. The Word was composed by means of pure correspondences, and, therefore, by means of it there is a conjunction of heaven with man, 10687. The Word is dark to those who are of the spiritual Church, more so to the Jews, 8928.

There are four styles in the Word, 1139. There are four different styles in the Word, 66. The most ancient style was to describe things historically under types, 605.

Appearances. The Word is according to appearances, 2242:3. A thing is spoken of in the Word according to appearances, 589, 926, 1838. In the Word a subject is spoken of according to appearances, lest they should be violated; an example from the Lord's anger, and other things; that the internal sense is otherwise; concerning which, 1874. Why a subject is spoken of in the Word according to appearances, especially in the Old Testament, 2520:5. Unless a matter were spoken of in the Word according to appearances and fallacies, it would not be received; and interior truths are not acknowledged, but they may be acknowledged by means of exterior truths which are in the literal sense, 3857. The Word, or the doctrine of faith, is clothed by human appearances, 2719, 2720:8. Apparent truths from the Word are adapted by the Lord, 1832.

The Literal Sense. All things in general and particular, in the sense of the letter of the Word, are representative and significative, 1404, 1408, 1409. The spiritual things of the Word cannot be otherwise presented than by means of natural things, 6943. The literal sense of the Word is according to appearances, 6839. The literal sense of the Word is from ideas of the world and natural things, but the internal sense is from ideas of heaven and spiritual things, and this is manifest from the former being wiped away, 3717. The internal sense of the Word is to its literal sense as the light of heaven is to the light of the world, or as the day is to the shade of night, 3438:2. In the internal sense there are myriads of things which constitute one in the literal sense, 3438e. There are innumerable things in each particular of the Word; an experience, 6617, 6620. There are innumerable things present in the particular contents of the Lord's Prayer; an experience, 6619. In the literal sense of the Word there are lower, or exterior truths, 3431. The external sense of the Word was changed, and made different on account of the Israelitish nation, which is treated of everywhere, and, therefore, the Law throughout is called Moses: illustrated and shown that it is so, 10453:3, 10461; and the internal sense still remained the same, 10453:3, 10461. The sense of the letter of the Word was changed on account of the Israelitish nation: illustrated by examples, 10603:2; still the internal things of the Word are Divine, 10604. The literal sense is and appears contrary to the internal sense, 3605:2, 3607, 3614:2. It is said in the Word that the Lord condemns, and several other things; it signifies the contrary in the internal sense, 2395. Several things appear in the sense of the letter not Divine, when yet from the internal sense they are; as civil laws and other things, 8971. The Word, in the literal sense, is altogether unlike and as it were contradictory, 9025:2. The Word in the internal sense is in a beautiful series, although in the literal sense it treats of various things: illustrated, 9022. It is illustrated by example that the literal sense, especially the historical, is not attended to more than as objects that serve for heavenly ideas, 2143. The internal sense is frequently manifest in the literal sense, 3440. The things which belong to faith, from the literal sense of the Word, ought not to be extinguished, except after full inspection: illustrated, 9039. The internal sense of the Word wonderfully corresponds to the literal sense: illustrated, 4357. The sense of the letter of the Word is a plane in which interior things cease, and upon which they rest, 10436:2. The Word in the letter is the support and foundation in which interior things cease, and upon which they subsist, 9430; shown, 9433. The internal sense of the Word is in the literal sense, as the soul is in the body, 4857:3. The literal sense is as it were the body, and the internal sense the soul, and the former lives by means of the letter, 8943. The sense of the letter does not reach to the angels, 1929. The sense of the letter of the Word perishes when it passes from man to the angels, 2015. The internal sense differs exceedingly from the sense of the letter, also a natural idea with man is turned into a spiritual idea with angels, 3131. The angels have a spiritual idea of those things which are in the Word, and an idea remote from the sense of the letter; an example, 3316:2. The difference between those who teach and learn from the literal sense of the Word, and those who do so from the doctrine of the Church drawn from the Word; the latter comprehend internal things, but the former only external things, 9025:3. They who are in the literal sense alone are doubtful, wavering, and change; they who are in the internal sense at the same time, are firm illustrated, 3820. The quality of the Word in the sense of the letter, if at the same time it is not understood as to the internal sense an example, 10402.

The Historical Parts of the Word. The historicals of the Word similarly contain internal arcana, 755:4. The historical Word has an internal sense as much as the prophetical, 2310, 2333e; the Word is different in the internal sense, because it is sent down from the Lord through heaven, and because it unites heaven and earth, 2310:2. The historicals respecting the Israelitish and Jewish people are such as are in the letter, but in the internal sense those which they represent deeds also thus exist as representations according to which the Word is written, consequently also the Lord spoke in like manner; otherwise [what He said] would not be received by man, nor understood by angels, 3652:5. If the historicals were the Word, except from the internal sense, several persons esteemed holy and as gods, as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, when yet they are nothing more than others in the other life, 3229. There is an internal historical sense when it is limited to the nation which is treated of in the Word, 4279:2, 4306. The things which are in the historical sense of the letter are limited to persons; in the internal sense, they refer to a subject, 3776. The internal sense does not appear in the historicals; the reason, 6597. In the merely historical parts of the Word the Divine is not, but inwardly in them, 4989:2. The historicals of the Word are not Divine, except from the internal sense, for they treat of men, 3228. The historical things of the Word are turned into the spiritual sense with angels, and at length into the Divine sense, 4373:2. Angels understand the historicals of the Word spiritually illustrated, 6884. The historicals of the Word are external truths, all which at first serve those who are being regenerated, 3690. The historicals of the Word are representative, 1709. The historicals of the Word are representative and significative, 1659. Historicals are truths, but representative words (verba) are significative, 1783. Historicals of the Word are representative, and all the words (verba) are significative; otherwise such things could not be treated of in the Divine Word, 2607. The historical accounts of creation in the first chapters of Genesis are composed historicals illustrated from various things therein, 8891:4. The things which are in the first chapters of Genesis are composed historicals illustrated from the books of that time, 9942.

The External, the Internal, and the Inmost Sense. The Word is as the Tabernacle; it has an inmost, an internal, and an external, 3439e. In the sense of the letter of the Word there is the spiritual sense, in this the celestial, and so the Divine Itself illustrated, 9407. In the external sense of the Word there is the internal, and one also inwardly in that, 10614, 10627. The supreme sense relates to the Lord, but the relative sense has respect to His kingdom, 3245. The Word is such that both historical things, which belong to the sense of the letter, and spiritual things, which belong to the internal sense, are in their own series, 3304:3. Why very many things in the Word have an opposite sense, 4816. How much the external and the internal sense of the Word differ, 9396. The literal and the internal sense of the Word are not opposite, although they appear so, but they correspond; they appear opposite, because man is what is opposed, 3425. The Word in the letter is not annulled, but confirmed by means of the internal sense; and as to every point and jot is holy and Divine illustrated and shown, 9349. The external sense of the Word is holy from the internal, not without it illustrated, 10276:8. What is holy from the internal flows in with those who hold the Word as holy, unknown to them, 6789:2. What the holy internal and the holy external of the Word are, which Moses represented, 9419:2. The laws prescribed for the Jews in the Old Testament are not binding on Christians, and still they are holy from the internal sense, 9211:2. Laws were laid down respecting things which rarely happened, and yet they are most worthy on account of the internal sense, 9259. The internal sense in the external is the glory in the cloud, 6343e. The quality of the Word in the internal sense is, in the literal sense, as projections around an optical cylinder, in which an image is presented, 1871. The external sense of the Word is for man, the internal sense for angels, that they may be consociated, 3982e. The internal sense is for spirits and angels, because their ideas are celestial and spiritual illustrated by means of examples, 2333:2. The internal sense is for angels, and the things that are therein are esteemed precious by them; the reasons, 2540:2, 2541, 2545, 2551, 2574:2. The natural sense with men is transmuted immediately into the spiritual sense with angels, and this suddenly, because there is a correspondence, 5648:2. The idea of a person is turned into the idea of a thing in the internal sense, 5225, 5287. The light of truth in the external of the Word is for those who are in the internal, 10691, 10694. They who are in the external without the internal do not endure internal things illustrated, 10694:2. To worship the external things of the Word, and of the Church, separated from the internal things, is idolatrous illustrated, 10399. What it is to see internal things from external, as to see those things which belong to the internal sense from the literal sense of the Word, 1807. How the internal sense is perceived from the external sense; it is momentarily, without the cognition of what is in the natural, 10215. In the precepts of the Decalogue there is an internal sense; confirmed, 8900. The precepts of life are of use in both the external and internal sense, 2609. The laws, judgments, and statutes are things which avail in each sense, and are to be done throughout; some are of use if so disposed, and some are abrogated; verses are cited, 9349. Nevertheless they are equally holy, or are equally the Divine Word, 9349:3.

The Internal Sense. Concerning the internal sense of the Word, 1, 4, 64-66, 167. 605, 920, 937, 1143, 1224, 1404, 1405, 1408, 1409, 1492, 1540, 1659, 1756, 1767-1777, 1783, 1807, 1869-1879. In the Word there is an internal sense, 1143. That there is an internal sense to the Word shown by passages of Scripture cited from the Evangelists, 2135. That there is an internal sense of the Word is manifest from the prophetical things of Israel, concerning his sons, in that nothing that was said befell them, 6333, 6361, 6415, 6438, 6444. The prophetical things are of no use in many places without an internal sense; examples, 2608e. In some places there is no sense, unless there is an internal sense: shown, 8398e. The statutes and laws respecting the passover, and why there are such things, cannot be comprehended without the internal sense, 8020. Without the internal sense, the reason why the Holy Supper was instituted is not known, nor what the flesh, the body, and the bread therein signify, 8682e. They who do not know the internal sense of the Word badly explain the Lord's words (verba) to Peter respecting the keys of the kingdom of the heavens, Preface to Gen. xxii. [ante 2760.] I have spoken with those who are famous in the Word, 1114. I have now seen the Word in the internal sense, 1772. The internal sense was dictated from heaven, 6597e. The internal sense of the Word is disclosed when the Church is vastated, because then truths cannot be profaned, 3398:4. What 'the Word is closed' means: illustrated from the Jews and others; they see nothing but the sense of the letter, nor are they willing to know the internal sense, 3769:2. Why the interiors of the Word were not disclosed to the Jews, 2520:5. The Word is disclosed when love to the Lord and charity towards the neighbour are taken for the principle, 3773. The things which the Lord spoke have an internal sense in them, because He spoke from the Divine, 9086:2. The Lord spoke from the Divine, thus in each particular of which there is an internal sense, 9049, 9063e. The Lord has spoken by means of representatives and significatives, and thus He spoke at the same time before the world and before heaven, 4807. The Lord spoke by means of representatives and significatives, because from the Divine Itself, 2900. The Lord taught according to the comprehension of the people, but thought from the spiritual-celestial; whence there is an internal sense, 2533:2. What the quality of the internal sense of the Word is, 1756. The internal sense of the Word, and its quality: shown also from passages out of the Word, 1984. The internal sense is elegant although mere names occur, 1224. In the internal sense are contained what exceed apprehension, 3085:3, 3086. The internal of the Word is also the internal of the Church and of worship, 10460. How pure the Word is in the internal sense, although it appears as impure in the external, 2362:5. How copious the internal sense of the Word is, 1965. Sometimes the internal sense of the Word is more universal, because more remote; concerning which, 2004. Not one jot can be absent from the Word without interruption of the series of things in the internal sense, 7933:3. There are abstract matters in the internal sense, such as that people denote truths, and so forth; the reason that abstract matters do not limit ideas, 6653. In the internal sense of the Word, time is not regarded, nor space, nor person, 5253. In the internal sense of the Word, things follow agreeably to their own subject, 4502. Jacob spoke on account of the internal sense, from a prophetic spirit: shown, 6306e. No one can see the internal sense of the Word, except he who is in good, 3793e, 3798e. A man who is in good thinks spiritually, thus according to the internal sense, although he does not know this: illustrated, 5614:2. Those who are not in charity, but only in the science of the cognitions of faith, can never see the interior things in the Word, which relate to love and charity, 3416. In the internal sense there are many things which do not fall into the understanding, and which are in no wise comprehended by one who is not regenerated, 4027. There are inexplicable things in the Word, 1955e. Several things in the internal sense of the Word cannot be explained, because they are most general and unknown, 4234:3. The mystical sense of the Word is nothing else than the spiritual and the celestial, thus it treats of the Lord, His kingdom, and the Church, 4923:2. If a man of the Most Ancient Church were to read the Word, he would see the internal sense clearly, otherwise than a man of the Ancient Church would, 4493:4. The Word contains indefinite and infinite things, 3509e. In the internal sense there is life and soul, 1405. The principal things of the internal sense, and the holy things themselves of the Word, are, namely, the Divine Human of the Lord, love to Him, love towards the neighbour, and that the Word to the least point is Divine, 3454. What the sense of the Word is, demonstrated from the consideration of what the fruit of faith is, which is charity, love to the Lord, and thus the Lord, 1873.

The Word of the Lord contains indefinite arcana, which do not appear, 937. The Word enfolds more arcana than one can believe shown, 1502:2. The arcana of the internal sense are less manifest in the historical parts than in the prophetical, 2176. The Word, also of the Old Testament, contains arcana in the internal sense, and it regards the Lord, whence is its life, 1-4. How deeply arcana are hidden in the Word; and they do not appear from the letter, 2161:2.

It is repugnant at the present time to hear that hidden in the Word there are deeper things than can he comprehended, 3472. They who are in no affection of truth for the sake of truth, sicken at the interior things of the Word; an experience, 5702. The reasons that men deny and are averse to the internal sense of the Word, are that opposite things appear; they do not acknowledge the Lord and love the neighbour, of whom the internal sense treats; they invert the Word, and say that faith is the essential of the Church, and goods are the fruit of faith; concerning which; they are in a persuasive faith, thus stupid; concerning which; and they comprehend only the delight of the love of self and gain in reading the Word, 3425, 3427, 3428. They reason whether a thing is, 3428. They mention the internal sense among vain things, 4726. The speech of those who reject the internal things of the Word, 1761. They who contemn the Word, even by life, relate to the viscid substances of the blood, 5719. They who deny the Word at heart blaspheme it illustrated, 9222. What danger there is from the profanation of the Word, 571, 582. The Word is vivified with man according to the life of charity and faith, 1776e. Love towards the Lord and reverence from the interior are testified by means of charity towards the neighbour, 5066, 5067.

The Heavenly Marriage in the Word. That there is a heavenly marriage in each particular of the Word, maybe seen under MARRIAGE. In each particular of the Word there is a heavenly marriage, and, in the supreme sense, the Divine Marriage, or the Lord, 4137e. In each particular of the Word there is a marriage of good and truth, 2712:3. In the prophetical Word everywhere there are expressions that involve the marriage of good and truth, 2173. In the Word goods and truths are ineffably conjoined, 10554. In the sense of the letter there are sometimes two or three spoken of, and one in the internal sense, when the Lord is treated of, 2663. There are several things in the sense of the letter which are one in the internal sense, as Jehovah and the Lord, 3035. Where there are two in the sense of the letter there is one in the supreme sense, 4071. There are two expressions for one thing in the Word, on account of the heavenly marriage: shown, 8339e. In the Word there are words that express spiritual things, and those that express celestial things: briefly, 3969:14. There are words in the Word which are predicated respecting truth, and those which are predicated respecting good, also those respecting both, 8314. In the Word spiritual and celestial things are treated of distinctly, and they have their proper words, 793, 801:2. In the prophetical Word there is the spiritual and the celestial; thence there are repetitions, 683, 707, 2516:3. A repetition in the Word signifies that there is another subject, 734. The Word of the Lord everywhere involves celestial and spiritual things, 639, 680. Sometimes there is a kind of reciprocation described in the Word, as when good is in the place of truth, and truth in the place of good, and contrariwise, 2240:7. Celestial angels form to themselves lights of ideas from affections in the Word, and spiritual angels from the significations of things, 2157, 2275. In the Word there are sometimes two expressions, one involving what is general, the other something determinate in the general, 2212:2.

Conjunction by means of the Word. The Word was necessary that there might be some revelation conjoining heaven and earth, because man was born to heavenly things, 1775. The Word conjoins heaven and earth by means of the internal sense; and that there is an internal sense of the Word is manifest from those things which the Lord said about the darkening of the sun and moon, 2495. By means of the Word there is a close connection with heaven; and without the Word the human race would perish, 9212e, 9216e. Unless there were the Word the human race would perish: illustrated, 4217:3. See BOND. By means of the internal sense the Word unites man with heaven, and through heaven, with the Lord, 4217:3. The Word unites man with the Lord, 3476. There is a close conjunction of man with the Lord by means of the Word: illustrated, 3735:2 The conjunction of the Lord with man takes place by means of the Word: references, 1375e. In all things, in general and particular, of the Word there is a conjunction of the Lord with man by means of correspondences, and it is therefrom more wonderful than everything else written, 10632-10634. By means of the Word there is conjunction of the Lord with man, and of heaven with the world; and unless there were a Word the human race would perish: illustrated, 10452:2. There is no conjunction of the Lord with an external apart from an internal illustrated, 9380. Conjunction of the Lord with man is by means of the Word, 9396:4. Hence the Word is called a covenant, thus the tables and the ark wherein the law was, the tables also of the ark of the covenant: shown, 9396:4.

Inspiration, Revelation, and Enlightenment. The Word is inspired as to every point, 9198e. Each single jot of the Word is inspired, 1870. How men explain and understand at the present time that the Word is inspired as to every jot, even the historicals, 1886. No one at the present time knows where the Divine in the Word is, when yet it is in its spiritual and celestial sense illustrated, 9280. The Word is Divine in such things as are abrogated illustrated, 10637. All things in the Word have in themselves an internal sense, and this is inspiration illustrated, 9094e.

Concerning the various kinds of revelation in the four successive Churches, and in the fourth, or Christian, Church, by means of the Word; concerning which, 10355. See CHURCH and DOCTRINE. The most ancient people had an immediate revelation; the ancients after them had revelation by means of representatives, and afterwards by means of the Word, 10632:3. That the Lord spoke with the living voice from Mount Sinai was because it was the beginning of the revelation of the Word, 8931. By means of the light (lumen) of nature, thus by means of natural theology, nothing is known respecting God and heaven, but all things are known from revelation illustrated, 8944.

Concerning enlightenment from the Word, see ENLIGHTENMENT and DOCTRINE. What enlightenment and perception therefrom are, 8694e. He who is in good has enlightenment and perception, and thence he who reads the Word is in the affection of truth, 8694:2. They receive influx and enlightenment, when they read the Word, who love truth for the sake of life, thus for the sake of truth, not they who love it for the sake of self and the world, 10548:2, 10551:2. To those who are enlightened from the Word, the Lord gives an understanding of truth, and not a belief in contradictory things; exemplified from the Lord's passion on the cross, 10659:3. He cannot be enlightened from the Word who appropriates to himself a doctrinal in which there is evil, 10640:2. They who are led by the Lord see truths in the Word, but not they who are led by self, 10638:2. Those things which are from one's own intelligence have no life in them, but those which are from the Word have, 8941 illustrated, 8944. The internal man is actually in the internal sense of the Word, but cannot he enlightened otherwise than according to the cognitions in which he is when his internal is open, 10400e, 10402e. The Lord speaks to-day with men by means of the Word, 10290. Man has everything good from the Lord by means of truth, thus by means of the Word illustrated, 10661. They who have been delighted with the Word have heat, varied according to their delectation; concerning which, 1773.

Doctrine from the Word. Concerning doctrine from the Word, see DOCTRINE. All instruction respecting the truths and goods of the Church and worship takes place by means of the external of the Word, but by those who are enlightened, 10548. The doctrine of the Word is not understood, unless it is expounded rationally and sensibly, 2533:2. See also DOCTRINE. Man is instructed in the Word, when he reads it, according to the end and affection, 3436. Doctrine from the Word must be the light (lucerna), and the internal sense teaches that very doctrine, 10400:3. The truths of the Church are procured by means of doctrinals and the Word; when by doctrinals a man believes what others conclude, when by the Word he can believe that truths are from the Divine, 5402:2. They who are in the affection of truth do not remain in doctrinals, but search from the Word whether they are truths illustrated, 5432. The Word must be searched that it may be known whether doctrinals are true, 6047. See FAITH. Many things are received from the fact that they are called Divine, but still they have need of confirmation, 3388. The sense of the. letter, without doctrine from the Word, leads into errors illustrated, 10431. They who are in heresy interpret the Word from the sense of the letter to their own favour illustrated from those who are in faith separated, 4783. The cause of heresies is that man is in external things without internal, and he thinks about self and the world, when he reads the Word illustrated, 10400:2. He who is in simple good and believes the Word simply is not harmed, because innocence and charity are present, 3436. It is not hurtful if one believes in the Word simply; but it is hurtful if one confirms false principles form the Word, 589. It is not harmful, although a man be in fallacies from the Word 735.

The Lord in the Word. The Lord said that the Scripture was fulfilled in Himself, but those things are in the internal sense [shown] by passages cited, 7933:2. The Lord is the Word, or doctrine, 2533e. The Lord is doctrine itself, because He is the Word; and the Word treats of Him and His kingdom, 2859. The Word is the Divine Truth of the Lord, also Divine doctrine, and this in a threefold sense-in the supreme, the internal, and the literal, 3712. The Lord is the Word in the supreme sense, in the internal sense, and in the literal sense, 3393. In the supreme sense of the Word, because the Lord is there, is the Divine Itself; in the internal sense, because the Lord's kingdom in the heavens is there, is the Divine; and in the literal sense, because the Lord's kingdom on the earths is there, is the Divine, but with a difference of degrees, 3439. The reason why so much in the internal sense treats of the union of the Divine Essence of the Lord with the Human, and of His perception and thought, is that the angels are in such things, and so are enlightened concerning the unition, 2249:2. That the internal sense describes all the Lord's life, even as to the thoughts, was that the fact that the Lord would come might be present to the angels, and the human race might then be saved, 2523. In the internal sense of the Word, all the states of the Lord's glorification are described illustrated, 7014.

That the Lord willed to be born on this our earth, and not on another, was for the sake of the Word, 9350-9362. The principal reason was for the sake of the Word, 9352. The Word could he put into writing on our earth, 9353. The Word could then he published through the whole earth, 9354. Once written it could be preserved for all posterity, 9355. So it could be manifest that God has become Man even to all in the other life, 9356. The Word is the union of heaven and the world, and in its supreme sense treats of the Lord, 9357. On other earths the Divine truth is orally manifested by means of spirits and angels; and such things are not therefrom, 9358. The Lord willed to be born on this earth so that He might become the Word even in the external sense shown, 9360.

The Word in the Spiritual World. The Word of the Lord appears as the image of a man, in which heaven is represented, 1871. The Word is, as it were, heaven in ultimates illustrated from the representative things in the other life, 10126. The speech of the Word is angelic speech, but the ultimate, 3482. What things the Lord spoke in parables are such that they fill the universal heaven, 4637. The senses of the Word are according to the heavens; concerning which, 4279:2. The Word is accommodated to angels, and to men, 7381. All things in the Word are accommodated to those in the heavens, and to those on the earths, even the precepts of the Decalogue, 8862. The Word is otherwise in the heavens than it is with man; and the internal sense in them is the Word, 1887. The Divine Word is in an altogether other form in the heavens than it is on the earths, and also in varied forms in the heavens, 8920. The quality of the sense of the Word in heaven, or in the internal sense shown, from the precepts of the Decalogue, 7089. The quality of the internal and inmost sense of the Word, thus its quality in heaven, is described by means of interior and exterior thoughts illustrated, 10604:2, 10614:2. The things which belong to the internal sense of the Word, appear to man as spread out, and of little moment, but they are essentials, and in a most beautiful coherence, and thus are seen in the light of heaven by the angels, 7153. The Word of the Lord is presented as pleasant and beautiful before good spirits and angels, 1767, 1768. The internal sense appears in the light of heaven, not so in the light of the world, 3086e. They perceive the Word spiritually in heaven, 4480. The things which are in the exposition of the Word, as to the internal sense, scarcely appear, but in heaven are in a most beautiful series, and in a heavenly form, 3376. Many things of the internal sense fall only into the angelic apprehension, thus not in those things that belong to the light of the world, but into those that belong to the light of heaven, 2618, 2619, 2629e. In heaven names and words are not perceived, 1434. Angels do not understand even one word, still less the names in the Word, but the internal sense; an experience, 6465. Names do not penetrate into heaven, nor can they [who are there] pronounce any name, 1876. Natural ideas are turned into spiritual ideas in heaven, 3507. The Word contains innumerable things represented to the angels, and understood by them, 167. How much there is present in one word of the Word shown by means of open ideas, 1869. The case is similar with each single word of the Word, 1870. From the predication alone of a word in the Word, it may be known what subject is treated of, 2712e. The Word is better perceived by angels when it is read by infant boys and girls, 1776. An example respecting a certain one who saw and perceived the interior things of the Word borne to angelic spirits also others who perceived the interior things of the Word, 1769 and others similarly, 1770. Some spirits have the interiors opened, and perceive the Word; some more, some less; they who have it less comprehend only the literal sense; the former with life, the latter without life, 1771. They who place merit in works do not desire the interior things of the Word, but the literal sense, 1774; they are represented by a little old woman deformed, but they who love the interior things of the Word are represented by a virgin decorously clothed, 1774e.

Seriatim Statement of the Doctrine. The doctrine concerning the Word, 10318-10325. Man knows nothing about God, eternal life, love and faith, except by means of revelation, 10318. The evils of the love of self and the world induce ignorance, and, therefore, these things are denied by many although they have revelation, 10319. Consequently God considered the human race by giving the Word, 10320. The Word is Divine in all things and each particular thing, 10321. Because it is Divine, it is for angels and for men, and, therefore, it has a spiritual and a natural, or an internal and an external, sense, 10322. Only the enlightened comprehend the Word, 10323. It is to be comprehended by means of doctrine made by one who is enlightened, 10324. The Books of the Word are those which have an internal sense; which they are is enumerated, 10325.

Significations. Whence names s. things in the Word; and other writers similarly learnt from the ancients that by names things are sd., 4442:2. That words (cerba) mean things in the original language, is because the Word is truth, and whatever exists, exists by means of truth, and becomes a thing, 5075.

The Word in the letter is the cloud, and in the internal sense is the glory, Preface to Gen. xviii. [ante 2135.] Clouds d. the literal, or external sense of the Word, and glory d. the spiritual, or internal sense briefly shown, 5922. The white horse mentioned in the Apocalypse d. the internal sense of the Word, and he sitting upon it d. the Lord, who is the Word, 2760. By names in the Word are sd. things illustrated by examples everywhere, 1888. Smoke d. the literal sense of the Word, 8916. Enoch d. those who collected representatives and significations from them [i.e. the men of the Most Ancient Church], 2896e. Moses is the Law, and d. the historical Word, 5922. The Law and the Prophets, or Moses and the Prophets, d. all the historical and prophetical books of the Old Testament, 2606. How in the internal of the Word, 'Lead thou us not into temptation' is understood, 1875. By the Word, in John i. 1-14, which is with God, and God was the Word, is sd. the Lord as to the Divine Human, thus Truth, consequently all revelation, and the Word Itself, 2894. What 'the Word was with God' s., 2803:4. The Divine Truth is that from which everything real is; what 'by means of the Word all things were made' s., 5272.

Good works are evil works, unless those things which belong to the love of self and the world are removed; and they are good when these have been removed, 3147:7. Works ought to correspond to the good of faith, that they may be good works, because they are according to the good of faith, and also with respect to the good of faith are as the face to the will, 3934:2. Charity shows itself in works; and works contain in themselves all things of charity and faith illustrated and shown, 6073. Truth does not become truth of the intelligence until it is in the will, and passes into the act, 4884:2. That everyone is recompensed according to his works is often stated in the Word shown, 3934:4; because man's will is in his works, 3934:7 He who is about to be regenerated begins from works; he who is regenerated ceases in works, 3934:8 Works include and conclude the interior things of man, and in them is the whole man, such as he is as to love and faith; and to be judged according to works is to be judged according to those things, 10331:3.

The internal man is formed to the image of heaven, and the external to the image of the world; and intellectual and voluntary things are successively opened, and by what means references, 9279:2, 10156:4. The states of life are inverted with the righteous and the unrighteous; with the former the world serves, but with the latter heaven serves, 9283:2. How little wise respecting heaven he is who is in inverted order, because the world rules heaven with him, 9278:2. Worldly and corporeal cares disperse heavenly ideas; an experience, 6309.

The world of spirits-how filthy its exterior and interior spheres are at the present time, is described, 2121-2124. See JUDGMENT. At the present time goods and truths from heaven are turned into evils and falsities there, 2123. Spirits who are from hell, when with man, are in the world of spirits, and then in man's loves, 5852. The world of spirits is where spirits who are with man are; where also men first come after death; and where the hells are terminated from higher things, and heaven from lower, so that it is interstitial between hell and heaven, 5852.

Worship is made external lest the internal should be profaned, 1327:3, 1328. External worship without internal is no worship, 1094. The Jews could be in external holiness of worship, without internal holiness illustrated, 4293:2. The quality of a man of the internal Church, and the quality of a man of the external Church, 1098. Internal things vivify worship, 1175:2. In proportion as the interiors are profane external worship is profane, 1182. They have worship solely external who do not believe in eternal life, 1200. There ought to be external worship, 1618:2. The Lord wishes for worship and glory from man, for the sake of man's salvation, and this is His glory illustrated, 10646:3.

The holiness of worship is according to the quality and quantity of the truth of faith implanted in charity, 2190.

The quality of the worship in which there is the love of self, 1304, 1306-1308, 1321, 1322. Worship applied to man's loves is infernal; but it must be applied to heavenly loves, 10307-10309. To imitate affections in worship from the proprium, as if they were heavenly, is infernal, 10309. If man be worshipped as a god, and not the Lord, infernal spirits are worshipped: illustrated, 10642:2. Babel d. worship in which there is the love of self, thus what is profaned, 1326.

From worship the quality of ends is known, 1571. What fictitious worship is, 1195. The Church would be one, if all had charity, although as to worship and doctrinal things they differ, 1285:3. All divine worship ought to be from freedom, 1947:2.
