EXTRACTS FROM THE ARCANA COELESTIA RELATING TO THE LORD AND HIS DIVINE HUMAN.

Project Gutenberg EPUB edition Swedenborg, Emanuel and Ager, John C. (John Curtis)
Open passage
[2] The Divine was in the Lord from very conception (n. 4641, 4963, 5041, 5157, 6716, 10125).
Open passage
The Lord alone had a Divine seed (n. 1438).
Open passage
His soul was Jehovah (n. 1999, 2004, 2005, 2018, 2025).
Open passage
Thus the Lord's inmost was the Divine Itself, while the clothing was from the mother (n. 5041).
Open passage
The Divine Itself was the Being [Esse] of the Lord's life, and from this the Human afterwards went forth and became the outgo [existere] from that Being [Esse] (n. 3194, 3210, 10269, 10738).
Open passage
[3] Within the church where the Word is and by it the Lord is known, the Lord's Divine ought not to be denied, nor the Holy that goes forth from Him (n. 2359).
Open passage
Those within the church who do not acknowledge the Lord have no conjunction with the Divine; but it is otherwise with those outside of the church (n. 10205).
Open passage
The essential of the church is to acknowledge the Lord's Divine and His union with the Father (n. 10083, 10112, 10370, 10730, 10738, 10816-10820).
Open passage
[4] The glorification of the Lord is treated of in the Word in many passages (n. 10828).
Open passage
And in the internal sense of the Word everywhere (n. 2249, 2523, 3245).
Open passage
The Lord glorified His Human, but not the Divine, since this was glorified in itself (n. 10057).
Open passage
The Lord came into the world to glorify His Human (n. 3637, 4287, 9315).
Open passage
The Lord glorified His Human by means of the Divine love that was in Him from conception (n. 4727).
Open passage
The Lord's life in the world was His love towards the whole human race (n. 2253).
Open passage
The Lord's love transcends all human understanding (n. 2077).
Open passage
The Lord saved the human race by glorifying His Human (n. 4180, 10019; 10152, 10655, 10659 10828).
Open passage
Otherwise the whole human race would have perished in eternal death (n. 1676).
Open passage
The state of the Lord's glorification and humiliation (n. 1785, 1999, 2159, 6866).
Open passage
Glorification in respect to the Lord is the uniting of His Human with the Divine; and to glorify is to make Divine (n. 1603, 10053, 10828).
Open passage
When the Lord glorified His Human He put off everything human that was from the mother, until at last He was not her son (n. 2159, 2574, 2649, 3036, 10830).
Open passage
[5] The Son of God from eternity was the Divine truth in heaven (n. 2628, 2798, 2803, 3195, 3704).
Open passage
When the Lord was in the world He made His Human Divine truth from the Divine good that was in Him (n. 2803, 3194, 3195, 3210, 6716, 6864, 7014, 7499, 8127, 8724, 9199).
Open passage
The Lord then arranged all things in Himself into a heavenly form, which is in accord with Divine truth (n. 1928, 3633).
Open passage
For this reason the Lord was called the Word, which is Divine truth (n. 2533, 2813, 2859, 2894, 3393, 3712).
Open passage
The Lord alone had perception and thought from Himself, and this was above all angelic perception and thought (n. 1904, 1914, 1919).
Open passage
The Divine truth which was Himself, the Lord united with Divine good which was in Himself (n. 10047, 10052, 10076). The union was reciprocal (n. 2004, 10067).
Open passage
[6] In passing out of the world the Lord also made His Human Divine good (n. 3194, 3210, 6864, 7499, 8724, 9199, 10076).
Open passage
This is what is meant by His coming forth from the Father and returning to the Father (n. 3194, 3210). Thus He became one with the Father (n. 2751, 3704, 4766).
Open passage
Since that union Divine truth goes forth from the Lord (n. 3704, 3712, 3969, 4577, 5704, 7499, 8127, 8241, 9199, 9398). How Divine truth goes forth, illustrated (n. 7270, 9407).
Open passage
It was from His own power that the Lord united the Human with the Divine (n. 1616, 1749, 1752, 1813, 1921, 2025, 2026, 2523, 3141, 5005, 5045, 6716).
Open passage
From this it is clear that the Lord's Human was not like the human of any other man, in that it was conceived from the Divine Itself (n. 10125, 10825, 10826).
Open passage
His union with the Father, from whom was His soul, was not as between two persons, but as between soul and body (n. 3737, 10824).
Open passage
[7] The most ancient people could not worship the Divine being [esse], but could worship only the Divine Outgo [existere], which is the Divine Human; therefore the Lord came into the world in order to become the Divine Existere from the Divine Esse (n. 4687, 5321).
Open passage
The ancients acknowledged the Divine because He appeared to them in a human form, and this was the Divine Human (n. 5110, 5663, 6845, 10737).
Open passage
The Infinite Being [Esse] could flow into heaven with the angels and with men only by means of the Divine Human (n. 1676, 1990, 2016, 2034).
Open passage
In heaven no other Divine than the Divine Human is perceived (n. 6475, 9303, 10067, 10267).
Open passage
The Divine Human from eternity was the Divine truth in heaven and the Divine passing through heaven; thus it was the Divine Outgo [existere] which afterwards in the Lord became the Divine Being [Esse] per se, from which is the Divine Existere in heaven (n. 3061, 6280, 6880, 10579).
Open passage
What the state of heaven was before the Lord's coming (n. 6371-6373).
Open passage
The Divine was not perceptible except when it passed through heaven (n. 6982, 6996, 7004).
Open passage
[8] The inhabitants of all the earth worship the Divine under a human form, that is, the Lord (n. 6700, 8541-8547, 10736-10738).
