45. Chapter 45 [Isaiah] Of the Lord in respect to the Divine Human, who is "Cyrus." 1, 2 From His Divine He has omnipotence against all things of hell. 8 3 He has Divine wisdom, 8, 10 4 through His Divine, even to ultimates. 8, 10 5, 6 He is none other than Jehovah; let all men know this. 10 7 From Him are all things. 10 8 Let them receive Him, that they may be saved. 17 9-11 Doubt whether it be so and why it is so, ought not to be entertained, 10 12 for He Himself is the God of heaven, 10 13 and thus He will save men, for they have been bound by the hells. 17 14 Those who are in ignorance and natural men will draw near. 11 15 Whence salvation thus comes has been hidden. 17 16 Those who are in falsities will recede. 4 17 Those who are of His church are saved. 17 18 The reason why they are thus saved is that man has been born for heaven. 17 19 This has been foretold in the Word. 17 20 Those who are in good draw near, and those who are in evil recede. 11, 17 21, 22 The Lord should be received, because He alone is God, and from Him alone is salvation. 11, 17 23-25 In Him alone is all the life of heaven, 17 24 and that life is not in those who are against Him. 4
