Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 298
298. In order that these things may be made apparent to the rational man, whether he be a wicked man or a good man, thus whether he be in the light of winter or in the light of summer, for colours appear alike in both, they must be explained in their order.

307. We return now to the subject set forth, namely, that the Lord governs hell by means of opposites; and the wicked, while still in the world, He governs in hell as to their interiors but not as to their exteriors.

71. That the Lord alone will give the happy things of eternal life to those who are and will be of His church is evident from these passages: The Lord said to the church of Ephesus, To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God (Rev. 2:7).

329. IV. THUS ALL ARE PREDESTINED TO HEAVEN, AND NO ONE TO HELL. That the Lord casts no one down to hell, but that the spirit casts himself, is shown in the work HEAVEN AND HELL, published at London in the year 1758 (n. 545-550).

330. In order that it may be apparent how harmful is the belief in predestination as generally understood, these four propositions must be taken up and established.

These things increase when charity is in the first place and faith in the second; for charity i...
