Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Arcana Cælestia, Vol. 1: The Heavenly Arcana Contained in the Holy Scriptures, or Word of the Lord, Unfolded, Beginning With the Book of Genesis, Together With Wonderful Things Seen in the World of Spirits and in the Heaven of Angels 4. It is impossible, whilst the mind abides in the literal sense only, to see that it is fall of such spiritual contents. Thus, in these first chapters of Genesis, nothing is discoverable from the literal sense, but that they treat of the creation of the world, and of the garden of Eden which is called Paradise and also of Adam a the first-created man; and scarcely a single person supposes them to relate to any thing besides. But that they contain arcana which were never heretofore revealed., will sufficiently appear from the following ages; where it will be seen that the first chapter of Genesis, in its internal sense, treats of the New Creation of man, or of his Regeneration, in general, and specifically of the most ancient church; and this in such a manner, that there is not a single syllable which does not represent, signify, and involve something spiritual. 5. That this is really the case, in respect to the Word, it is impossible for any mortal to know, however, except from the Lord. Wherefore it is expedient here to premise that, of the Lord´s divine mercy, it has been granted me, now for several years, to he constantly and uninterruptedly in company with spirits and angels, hearing them converse with each other, and conversing with them. Hence it has been permitted me to hear and see things in another life which are astonishing, and which have never before come to the knowledge of any man, nor entered into his imagination. I have there been instructed concerning different kinds of spirits, and the state of souls after death, - concerning hell, or the lamentable state of the unfaithful, - concerning heaven, or the most happy state of the faithful, - and particularly concerning the doctrine of faith which is acknowledged throughout all heaven: on which subjects, by the divine mercy of the Lord, more will he said in the following pages. Chapter I. 1. In the beginning, the God created heaven and the earth. 2. And the earth was vacuity, and emptiness, and darkness was upon the faces of the abyss. And the Spirit of God moved upon the faces of the waters. 3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided between the light and the darkness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
