§86 the divine human: references 49
- A trinity or divine trine in one person—and therefore a single
God—is conceivable, but a trinity in three persons is not: 10738 , 10821 ,
- A divine trine in the Lord is acknowledged in heaven: 14 , 15 , 1729 ,
2005 [ 2004 ], 5256 , 9303. The trine in the Lord is the essential divine
nature called the Father, the divine human called the Son, the emanating
Divine called the Holy Spirit, and this divine trine is one: 2149 , 2156 ,
2288 , 2321 [ 2319 ], 2329 , 2447 , 3704 , 6993 , 7182 , 10738 , 10822 , 10823. The
Lord himself teaches that the Father and he are one: 1729 , 2004 , 2005 ,
2018 , 2025 , 2751 , 3704 , 3736 , 4766 ; and the holy Divine emanates from
him and is his: 3969 , 4673 , 6788 , 6993 , 7499 , 8127 , 8302 , 9199 , 9228 ,
9229 , 9270 [ 9264 ], 9407 , 9818 , 9820 , 10330.
[ 11 ] The divine human fl ows into heaven and makes heaven: 3038.
The Lord is everything in heaven, and is heaven’s life: 7211 , 9128. The
Lord dwells among angels in what is his: 9338 , 10125 , 10151 , 10157. So
people who are in heaven are in the Lord: 3637 , 3638. The union of the
Lord with angels takes place according to their acceptance of the quality
of love and thoughtfulness from him: 904 , 4198 , 4206 [ 4205 ], 4211 , 4320
[ 4220 ], 6280 , 6832 , 7042 , 8819 , 9680 , 9682 , 9683 , 10106 , 10811 [ 10810 ].
The whole heaven corresponds directly to the Lord: 551 , 552. The Lord is
the common center of heaven: 3633. Everyone there turns toward the
Lord, who is above the heavens: 9828 , 10130 , 10189. However, angels do
not turn themselves toward the Lord; rather, the Lord turns them toward
himself: 10189. There is no presence of angels with the Lord, but there is
a presence of the Lord with angels: 9415. There is no union with the
essential Divine in heaven, but there is with the divine human: 4211 ,
4724 , 5633 [ 5663 ].
[ 12 ] Heaven corresponds to the Lord’s divine human, and heaven
overall is therefore like a single person; and therefore heaven is called the
universal human: 2996 , 2998 , 3624 – 3649 , 3636 – 3643 , 3741 – 3745 , 4625.
The Lord is the only person, and only those who accept something divine
from him are human: 1894. To the extent that they do so accept, they are
human beings and images of him: 8547. Therefore angels are forms of
love and thoughtfulness in human form, which is [given] by the Lord:
3804 , 4735 , 4797 , 4985 , 5199 , 5530 , 9879 , 10177.
[ 13 ] The whole heaven belongs to the Lord: 2751 , 7086. He has all
power in the heavens and on earth: 1607 , 10089 , 10827. Because the Lord
rules the entire heaven, he also rules everything that depends on it—
therefore everything in the world: 2026 , 2027 , 4523 , 4524. The Lord
alone possesses the power to move the hells away from us, restrain us
from evils and keep us in good, and thus to save us: 10019.
