46 HEAVEN and HELL §86
References to Passages in Secrets of Heaven
Concerning the Lord and His Divine Human
[ 2 ] The Lord had a divine element from his very conception: 4641 , 4963 ,
5041 , 5157 , 6716 , 10125. Only the Lord had a divine seed: 1438. His soul
was Jehovah: 1999 , 2004 , 2005 , 2018 , 2025. So the inmost of the Lord
was the Divine itself, and its clothing was from his mother: 5041. The
Divine itself was the very reality of the Lord’s life, and his human nature
then emerged and became the manifestation from that reality: 3194 , 3210 ,
10270 [ 10269 ], 10372.
[ 3 ] Within the church, where there is the Word and where the Lord
is known through it, there must be no denial of the Lord’s divine nature
or of the holy emanation from him: 2359. People within the church who
do not acknowledge the Lord have no union with the Divine; it is differ-
ent for people outside the church: 10205. The essence of the church is to
acknowledge the Lord’s divine nature and his oneness with the Father:
10083 , 10112 , 10370 , 10738 [ 10728 ], 10730 , 10816 , 10817 , 10818 , 10820.
[ 4 ] The Word has a great deal to say about the Lord’s glorifi cation:
This is everywhere in the inner meaning of the Word: 2249 , 2523 ,
The Lord glorifi ed his human nature but not his divine nature,
because the latter was intrinsically glorifi ed: 10057. The Lord came into
the world to glorify his human nature: 3637 , 4286 [ 4287 ], 9315. The Lord
glorifi ed his human nature by means of the divine love that was within
him from conception: 4727. The Lord’s love for the whole human race
was the Lord’s life in this world: 2253. The Lord’s love transcends all
human understanding: 2077. The Lord saved the human race by glorify-
ing his human: 4180 , 10019 , 10152 , 10655 , 10659 , 10828. Otherwise, the
whole human race would have perished in eternal death: 1676. On the
Lord’s states of glorifi cation and humiliation: 1785 , 1999 , 2159 , 6866.
When “glorifi cation” is attributed to the Lord, it means his human
becoming one with the Divine, and “glorifying” means “making divine”:
1603 , 10053 , 10828. When the Lord glorifi ed his human, he laid aside the
human he had received from his mother so completely that he was no
longer her son: 2159 , 2574 , 2649 , 3036 , 10829 [ 10830 ].
[ 5 ] The Son of God from eternity was the divine truth in heaven:
2628 , 2798 , 2803 , 3195 , 3704. The Lord also made his human nature
