1-1 The consummation of the age is the final period of the church (n. 4535, 10622).

1-2 The Lord’s predictions in Matthew (24 and 25), respecting the consummation of the age and His coming, and the consequent successive vastation of the church and the final judgment, are explained in the prefaces to chapters 26-40 of Genesis (n. 3353-3356, 3486-3489, 3650-3655, 3751-3757, 3897-3901, 4056-4060, 4229-4231, 4332-4335, 4422-4424, 4635-4638, 4661-4664, 4807-4810, 4954-4959, 5063-5071).

1-3 Both in the wholes and in the particulars of the Word there is an internal or spiritual sense (n. 1143, 1984, 2135, 2333, 2395, 2495, 4442, 9048, 9063, 9086).

1-4 The Word is written solely by correspondences, and for this reason each thing and all things in it have a spiritual meaning (n. 1404, 1408, 1409, 1540, 1619, 1659, 1709, 1783, 2900, 9086).

1-5 In the Word the sun” signifies the Lord in respect to love, and in consequence love to the Lord (n. 1529, 1837, 2441, 2495, 4060, 4696, 7083, 10809).

1-6 In the Word the “moon” signifies the Lord in respect to faith, and in consequence faith in the Lord (n. 1529, 1530, 2495, 4060, 4696, 7083).

1-7 In the Word “stars” signify knowledges of good and truth (n. 2495, 2849,4697).

1-8 “Tribes” signify all truths and goods in the complex, thus all things of faith and love (n. 3858, 3926, 4060, 6335).

1-9 The coming of the Lord signifies His presence in the Word, and revelation (n 3900,4060).

1-10 In the Word clouds signify the Word in the letter or the sense of its letter (n. 4060, 4391, 5922, 6343, 6752, 8106, 8781, 9430, 10551, 10574).

1-11 In the Word “glory” signifies Divine truth as it is in heaven and as it is in the internal sense of the Word (n. 4809, 5922, 8267, 8427, 9429, 10574).

1-12 A “trumpet” or “horn” signifies Divine truth in heaven, and revealed from heaven (n. 8158, 8823, 8915); and “voice” has a like signification (n. 6771, 9926).

2-1 Christians were examined in the other life in regard to their idea of the one God and it was found that they held the idea of three Gods (n. 2329, 5256, 10736, 10738, 10821).

A Divine trinity in the Lord is acknowledged in heaven (n. 14, 15, 1729, 2005, 5256, 9303).

3-1 A Divine that cannot be perceived by any idea cannot be received by faith (n. 4733, 5110, 5663, 6982, 6996, 7004, 7211, 9356, 9359, 9972, 10067, 10267).

5-1 The entire heaven is the Lord’s (n. 2751, 7086). He has all power in the heavens and on the earths (n. 1607, 10089, 10827). As the Lord rules heaven He rules also all things that depend thereon, thus all things in the world (n. 2026, 2027, 4523, 4524). The Lord alone has power to remove the hells, to withhold from evil and hold in good, and thus to save (n. 10019).

8-1 The angels of heaven acknowledge all good to be from the Lord, and nothing from themselves, and the Lord dwells in them in His own and not in their own (n. 9338, 10125, 10151, 10157). Therefore in the Word by “angels” something of the Lord is meant (n. 1925, 2821, 3039, 4085, 8192, 10528).

Furthermore, angels are called “gods” from the reception of the Divine from the Lord (n. 4295, 4402, 7268, 7873, 8192, 8301).

Again, all good that is good, and all truth that is truth, consequently all peace, love, charity, and faith, are from the Lord (n. 1614, 2016, 2751, 2882, 2883, 2891, 2892, 2904).

Also all wisdom and intelligence (n. 109, 112, 121, 124).

8-2 Those who are in heaven are said to be in the Lord (n. 3637, 3638).

9-1 Good from the Lord has the Lord inwardly in it, but good from one’s own has not (n. 1802, 3951, 8480).

13-1 In the Word “fire” signifies heavenly love and infernal love (n. 934, 4906, 5215).

“Holy and heavenly fire” signifies Divine love, and every affection that belongs to that love (n. 934, 6314, 6832).

“Light” from fire signifies truth going forth from good of love; and light in heaven signifies Divine truth (n. 3195, 3485, 3636, 3643, 3993, 4302, 4413, 4415, 9548, 9684).

14-1 Love is the fire of life, and life itself is actually therefrom (n. 4906, 5071, 6032, 6314).

15-1 To love the Lord and the neighbor is to live according to the Lord’s commandments (n. 10143, 10153, 10310, 10578, 10648).

15-2 To love the neighbor is not to love the person, but to love that in him from which he is what he is, that is, his truth and good (n. 5028. 10336).

Those who love the person, and not that in him from which he is what he is, love evil and good alike (n. 3820).

Charity is willing truths and being affected by truths for the sake of truths (n. 3876, 3877).

Charity towards the neighbor is doing what is good, just, and right, in every work and in every function (n. 8120-8122).

17-1 Angels are forms of love and charity (n. 3804, 4735, 4797, 4985, 5199, 5530, 9879, 10177).

17-2 A spiritual sphere, which is a sphere of the life, overflows and pours forth from every man, spirit, and angel, and encompasses them (n. 4464, 5179, 7454, 8630).

It flows from the life of their affection and consequent thought (n. 2489, 4464, 6206).

17-3 Spirits and angels turn themselves constantly to their loves, and those in the heavens turn themselves constantly to the Lord (n. 10130, 10189, 10420, 10702).

Quarters in the other life are to each one in accordance with the direction of his face, and are thereby determined, otherwise than in the world (n. 10130, 10189, 10420, 10702).

18-1 Innumerable things are contained in love, and love gathers to itself all things that are in harmony with it (n. 2500, 2572, 3078, 3189, 6323, 7490, 7750).

20-1 There is infinite variety, and nowhere any thing the same as another (n. 7236, 9002).

Also in the heavens there is infinite variety (n. 684, 690, 3744, 5598, 7236).

Varieties in heaven are varieties of good (n. 3744, 4005, 7236, 7833, 7836, 9002).

All societies in the heavens, and all angels in a society, are thereby distinguished from each other (n. 690, 3241, 3519, 3804, 3986, 4067, 4149, 4263, 7236, 7833, 7836).

Nevertheless they are all made one by love from the Lord (n. 457, 3986).

21-1 Heaven as a whole is divided into two kingdoms, a celestial kingdom and a spiritual kingdom (n. 3887, 4138).

The angels of the celestial kingdom receive the Divine of the lord in their voluntary part, thus more interiorly than the spiritual angels, who receive it in their intellectual part (n. 5113, 6367, 8521, 9936, 9995. 10124).

22-1 The heavens that constitute the celestial kingdom are called higher while those that constitute the spiritual kingdom are called lower (n. 10068).

22-2 Interior things are portrayed by higher things, and higher things signify interior things (n. 2148, 3084, 4599, 5146, 8325).

23-1 The good of the celestial kingdom is good of love to the Lord, and the good of the spiritual kingdom is good of charity towards the neighbor (n. 3691, 6435, 9468, 9680, 9683, 9780).

25-1 The celestial angels immeasurably surpass in wisdom the spiritual angels (n. 2718, 9995).

The nature of the distinction between celestial angels and spiritual angels (n. 2088, 2669, 2708, 2715, 3235, 3240, 4788, 7068, 8521, 9277, 10295).

25-2 The celestial angels do not reason about truths of faith, because they perceive them in themselves; but the spiritual angels reason about them whether they are true or not (n. 202, 337, 597, 607, 784, 1121, 1384, 1898, 1919, 3246, 4448, 7680, 7877, 8780, 9277, 10786).

26-1 The Lord’s influx is into good and through good into truth, and not the reverse; thus into the will and through that into the understanding, and not the reverse (n. 5482, 5649, 6027, 8685, 8701, 10153).

26-2 The will of man is the very being [esse] of his life, and the receptacle of the good of love, while his understanding is the outgo [existere] of his life therefrom, and the receptacle of the truth and good of faith (n. 3619, 5002, 9282).

Thus the will’s life is the chief life of man, and the life of the understanding goes forth therefrom (n. 585, 590, 3619, 7342, 8885, 9282, 10076, 10109, 10110).

Whatever is received by the will comes to be the life, and is appropriated to man (n. 3161, 9386, 9393).

Man is a man from his will and his understanding therefrom (n. 8911, 9069, 9071, 10076, 10109, 10110).

Moreover, everyone who wills and understands rightly is loved and valued by others, while he that understands rightly and does not will rightly is rejected and despised (n. 8911, 10076).

Also, after death man remains such as his will and his understanding therefrom have been, while the things that pertain to the understanding and not also to the will then vanish, because they are not in the man (n. 9069, 9071, 9282, 9386, 10153).

27-1 Between the two kingdoms there is communication and conjunction by mean’s of angelic societies which are called celestial-spiritual (n. 4047, 6435, 8796, 8802).

The influx of the Lord through the celestial kingdom into the spiritual (n. 3969, 6366).

30-1 All things of Divine order are brought together in man, and by creation man is Divine order in form (n. 3628, 4219, 4220, 4223, 4523, 4524, 5114, 5168, 6013, 6057, 6605, 6626, 9706, 10156, 10472).

In man the internal man was formed after the image of heaven, and the external after the image of the world, and this is why man was called by the ancients a microcosm (n. 3628, 4523, 5115, 6013, 6057, 9279, 9706, 10156, 10472).

Thus man is respect to his interiors is by creation a heaven in least form after the image of the greatest; and such also man becomes when he has been created anew or regenerated by the Lord (n. 911, 1900, 1928, 3624-3631, 3634, 3884, 4041, 4279, 4523, 4524, 4625, 6013, 6057, 9279, 9632).

31-1 There are three heavens, inmost, middle, and outmost, or third, second, and first (n. 684 9594, 10270).

Goods therein also follow in triple order (n. 4938, 4939, 9992, 10005, 10017).

The good of the inmost or third heaven is called celestial, the good of the middle or second is called spiritual, and the good of the outmost or first, spiritual-natural (n. 4279, 4286, 4938, 4939, 9992, 10005, 10017, 10068).

33-1 There are as many degrees of life in man as there are heavens, and these are opened after death in accordance with his life (n. 3747, 9594).

Heaven is in man (n. 3884).

Therefore he that has received heaven into himself in the world, comes into heaven after death in. 10717).

34-1 Interiors are more perfect because nearer to the Divine (n. 3405, 5146,5147).

In the internal there are thousands and thousands of things that appear in the external as one general thing (n. 5707).

As far as man is raised from externals towards interiors, so far he comes into light and thus into intelligence and the elevation is like rising out of a cloud into clearness (n. 4598, 6183, 6313).

37-1 Influx from the Lord is direct from Himself and also mediate through on heaven into another, and in like manner into man’s interiors (n. 6063, 6307, 6472, 9682, 9683).

Direct influx of the Divine from the Lord (n. 6058, 6474-6478, 8717, 8728).

Mediate influx through the spiritual world into the natural world (n. 4067, 6982, 6985, 6996).

37-2 All things spring from things prior to themselves, thus from a First, and in like inner subsist, because subsistence is unceasing springing forth; therefore nothing unconnected is possible (n. 3626-3628, 3648, 4523, 4524, 6040, 6056).

38-1 Things interior and things exterior are not continuous but distinct and discrete according to degrees, and each degree has its bounds (n. 3691, 5114, 5145, 8603, 10099).

One thing is formed from another, and the things so formed are not continuously purer and grosser (n. 6326, 6465).

Until the difference between what is interior and what is exterior according to such degrees is perceived, neither the internal and external man nor the interior and exterior heavens can be clearly understood (n. 5146, 6465, 10099, 10181).

41-1 There is infinite variety, and never any thing the same with any other (n. 7236, 9002).

So in the heavens there is infinite variety (n. 684, 690, 3744, 5598, 7236).

Varieties in the heavens, which are infinite, are varieties of good (n. 3744, 4005, 7236, 7833, 7836, 9002).

These varieties exist through truths, which are manifold from which is each one’s good (n. 3470, 3804, 4149, 6917, 7236).

It is because of this that all the societies in the heavens, and all angels in a society, are distinct from each other (n. 690, 3241, 3519, 3804, 3986, 4067, 4149, 4263, 7236, 7833, 836).

Nevertheless they all make one through love from the Lord (n. 457, 3986).

42-1 All the societies of heaven have a constant position in accordance with the differences of their state of life, thus in accordance with the differences of love and faith (n. 1274, 3638, 3639).

Wonderful things in the other life, that is, in the spiritual world, respecting distance, situation, place space and time (n. 1273-1277).

45-1 All freedom pertains to love and affection, since what a man loves, that he does freely (n. 2870, 3158, 8987, 8990, 9555, 9591).

Because freedom pertains to love everyone’s life and delight is therefrom (n. 2873).

Nothing appears as one’s own, except what is from his freedom (n. 2880).

The veriest freedom is to be led by the Lord, because one is thus led by the love of good and truth (n. 892, 905, 2872, 2886, 2890-2892, 9096, 9586-9591).

46-1 All nearness, relationship, connections, and as it were ties of blood, in heaven are from good and in accordance with its agreements and differences (n. 685, 917, 1394, 2739, 3612, 3815, 4121).

49-1 A spiritual sphere, which is the sphere of life flows out from every man, spirit, and angel, and encompasses them (n. 4464, 5179, 7454, 5630).

It flows forth from the life of their affection and thought (n. 2459, 4464. 6206).

These spheres extend themselves far into angelic societies in accordance with the quality and quantity of their good (n. 6598-6612, 8063, 5794, 5797).

49-2 In the heavens a sharing of all goods is possible because heavenly love shares with another everything that is its own (n. 549, 550, 1390, 1391, 1399, 10130, 10723).
