§86 the divine human: references 47
divinely true from the divine good that was in him when he was in the
world: 2803 , 3194 , 3195 , 3210 , 6716 , 6864 , 7014 , 7499 , 8127 , 8724 , 9199.
The Lord then arranged everything within himself in the heavenly form
that accords with divine truth: 1928 , 3633. Therefore the Lord is called
the Word, which is divine truth: 2533 , 2818 [ 2813 ], 2859 , 2894 , 3393 , 3712.
Only the Lord possessed perception and thought from himself and above
all angelic perception and thought: 1904 , 1914 , 1915 [ 1919 ].
The Lord made the divine truth that was himself one with the divine
good that was in himself: 10047 , 10052 , 10076. This uniting was reciprocal:
2004 , 10067. [ 6 ] When the Lord left this world, he also made his human
divinely good: 3194 , 3210 , 6864 , 7499 , 8724 , 9199 , 10076. This is what is
meant by “going out from the Father” and “returning to the Father”: 3194 ,
- This is how he became one with the Father: 2751 , 3704 , 4766. Since
this union, divine truth emanates from the Lord: 3704 , 3712 , 3969 , 4577 ,
5704 , 7499 , 8127 , 8241 , 9199 , 9398. Examples of the way divine truth ema-
nates: 7270 , 9407. The Lord united his human to his divine nature by his
own power: 1616 , 1749 , 1753 [ 1752 ], 1813 , 1921 , 2025 , 2026 , 2523 , 3141 , 5005 ,
5045 , 6716. It therefore stands to reason that the Lord’s human nature was
not like the human nature of any other person, because it was conceived by
the Divine itself: 10125 , 10826. His union with the Father, who was the
source of his soul, was not like a union between two entities, but like that
between soul and body: 3737 , 10824.
[ 7 ] The earliest people were not able to worship a divine reality but a
divine manifestation, which is the divine human; so the Lord came into the
world in order to become the divine manifestation from the divine reality:
4687 , 5321. The early people acknowledged the Divine because it appeared
to them in human form, and this form was the divine human: 5110 , 5663 ,
6846 , 10737. The infi nite reality cannot fl ow into heaven among angels or
into people on earth except through the divine human: 1646 [ 1676 ], 1990 ,
2016 , 2035 [ 2034 ]. In heaven, no other Divine is perceived except the divine
human: 6475 , 9303 , 9267 [ 9315 , 9356 ], 10067. The divine human from eter-
nity was the divine truth in heaven and the divine nature passing through
heaven; so it was the divine manifestation, which later, in the Lord, became
the divine reality in its own right, the source of the divine manifestation in
heaven: 3061 , 6280 , 6880 , 10579. What the state of heaven was like before
the Coming of the Lord: 6371 , 6372 , 6373. The Divine was not perceptible
except as it passed through heaven: 6982 , 6996 , 7004.
[ 8 ] The inhabitants of all the planets worship the Divine in human
form—therefore, the Lord: 6700 , 8541 – 8547 , 10736 , 10737 , 10738. They
are overjoyed when they hear that the Lord actually became a human:
