The statutes, judgments, and laws, which were commanded in the Jewish Church, were in part like those in the Ancient Church (n. 4449, 4835). In what respect the representative rites of the Jewish Church differed from those of the Ancient Church (n. 4288, 10149). A representative church was instituted with that nation, but there was no church i... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=njhd§ion=248 The White Horse in Revelation Chapter 19; and the Word and Its Spiritual Sense (from Mysteries of Heaven) 4 4.

That the Lord came into the world to reduce into order all things in heaven, and derivatively on earth; that this was effected by means of combats against the hells, which were then infesting every man that came into the world and that went out of the world; and that He thereby became righteousness, and saved men, who otherwise could not have been saved, is foretold in many passages in the Pro... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ld§ion=14 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on Sacred Scripture 30 30. These things are premised with a view to those which follow, in order that they may be comprehended with understanding; and for the present purpose that it may be comprehended that the natural sense of the Word which is the sense of the letter, is the basis, the container, and the support of its spiritual sense and of its celestial sense. ... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ss§ion=30 Teachings about Life for the New Jerusalem: Drawn from the Ten Commandments 5 5. The Exhortation read in England before the people who approach the Sacrament of the Supper, is as follows: The way and means to be received as worthy partakers of that Holy Table is, first, to examine your lives and conversations by the rule of God's commandments; and whereinsoever ye shall perceive yourselves to have offended, either by will, word, or deed, there to bewail your own sinf... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=lf§ion=5 Teachings about Life for the New Jerusalem: Drawn from the Ten Commandments 9 9.

A man gives to the poor; relieves the needy; endows places of worship and hospitals; has regard for the church, his country, and his fellow citizen; is diligent... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=lf§ion=9 Teachings about Life for the New Jerusalem: Drawn from the Ten Commandments 30 30. The Word teaches that in proportion as a man has not been purified from evils, his goods are not good, nor are his pious things pious, and neither is he wise: it also teaches the converse: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchers, which outwardly indeed appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Eve... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=lf§ion=30 Teachings about Life for the New Jerusalem: Drawn from the Ten Commandments 97 97. This combat is not severe except in the case of those who have given free rein to their concupiscences, and have indulged them of set purpose, and also in the case of those who have stubbornly cast off the holy things of the Word and of the church. With others it is not severe; let them even once in a week, or twice in a month, resist the evils they are inclined to, and they will perceive a ch... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=lf§ion=97 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 26 26. Visitations also were made by angels; for before any ill conditioned society perishes, visitation always precedes. The angels exhorted them to desist, and denounced destruction upon them if they did not. Then they also sought out and separated any good spirits who were intermingled with them. But the multitude, excited by their leaders, reviled the angels, and rushed in upon them, for the purp... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=26 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 51 51. The cities in which the Dutch dwell, are guarded in a peculiar manner, all the streets in them are covered, and in the streets are gates, in order that they may not be viewed from the surrounding rocks and hills. This they do from their inherent prudence in concealing their designs, and not divulging their intentions; for these things in the spiritual world are brought forth by inspection. Whe... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=51 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 56 56. VII. THE PAPISTS IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD. The Papists, and the Last Judgment upon them, were treated of in the small work on The Last Judgment (n. 53-64). The Papists in the spiritual world appear around the Reformed, and are separated from them by an interval, which they are not permitted to pass. Nevertheless, those who are of the order of Jesuits, by clandestine arts procure for thems... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=56 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 63 63. Because man from heredity is such, that he wishes to rule, and as the reins are loosened, successively over more, and at length over all, and because the wish to be invoked and worshiped as God, is the inmost of this love of ruling, therefore all who have been made saints by the Papal bulls, are removed from the sight of others and hidden, and are deprived of all interaction with their worship... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=63 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 67 67. I will here add this Relation. A certain woman in splendid raiment and with saint-like countenance, occasionally appears in a middle altitude, to the Parisians who are in a society in the spiritual world, and tells them she is Genevieve. But as soon as any of them begin to adore her, then instantly her countenance is changed, and her raiment too, and she becomes like an ordinary woman,... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=67 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 25 25. So would it be with the church scattered throughout the whole globe, which is called a communion, because it is as one body under one head. It is known that the head rules the body under it at will; for understanding and will have their seat in the head; and in conformity to the understanding and will the body is directed, even to the extent that the body is nothing but obedience. As the body... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=25 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 354 354. Any one may confirm himself in favor of the Divine from things visible in nature, when he sees larvae, from the delight of some impulse, desiring and longing to change their terrestrial state to a certain likeness of the heavenly state, and for this purpose creeping into corners, and putting themselves as it were into a womb in order to be born again, and there becoming chrysalises, aurelias,... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=354 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 21 21. IX. THE DIVINE PROVIDENCE OF THE LORD CAUSES WHAT IS EVIL AND AT THE SAME TIME FALSE TO SERVE FOR EQUILIBRIUM, RELATION AND PURIFICATION, AND SO FOR THE UNION OF GOOD AND TRUTH IN OTHERS. From what has been said it may be evident that the Divine Providence of the Lord is continually operating to unite truth to good and good to truth in man, because this union is the Church, and is also heaven;... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=21 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 262 262.

A doubt may be raised against the Divine Providence from the fact that the whole Christian world worships one God under three Persons, that is, three Gods, and that hitherto it has not known that God one in Person and in Essence, in whom is a Trinity, and that this... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=262 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 296 296.

This is the case with hatred and revenge, theft and fraud, adultery and who... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=296 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 297 297. III. THE WICKED CANNOT BE WHOLLY WITHDRAWN BY THE LORD FROM EVIL AND LED IN GOOD SO LONG AS THEY BELIEVE THEIR OWN INTELLIGENCE TO BE EVERYTHING, AND THE DIVINE PROVIDENCE NOTHING. It would appear to be the case that man can withdraw himself from evil, provided he thinks that this or that is contrary to the common good, contrary to what is useful and contrary to national and international law... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=297 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 308 308. CHAPTER XI THE DIVINE PROVIDENCE APPROPRIATES NEITHER EVIL NOR GOOD TO ANYONE; BUT ONE'S OWN PRUDENCE APPROPRIATES BOTH NEARLY everyone believes that man thinks and wills from himself and consequently speaks and acts from himself.
