The Lord alone had perception and thought from Himself,
and this was above all angelic perception and thought (n.
1904, 1914, 1919).
The Divine truth which was Himself, the Lord united with
Divine good which was in Himself (n. 10047, 10052, 10076).
The union was reciprocal (n. 2004, 10067).
[6] In passing out of the world the Lord also made His
Human Divine good (n. 3194, 3210, 6864, 7499, 8724, 9199,
10076).
This is what is meant by His coming forth from the Father
and returning to the Father (n. 3194, 3210). Thus He
became one with the Father (n. 2751, 3704, 4766).
Since that union Divine truth goes forth from the Lord (n.
3704, 3712, 3969, 4577, 5704, 7499, 8127, 8241, 9199,
9398). How Divine truth goes forth, illustrated (n. 7270,
9407).
It was from His own power that the Lord united the Human
with the Divine (n. 1616, 1749, 1752, 1813, 1921, 2025,
2026, 2523, 3141, 5005, 5045, 6716).
From this it is clear that the Lord's Human was not like
the human of any other man, in that it was conceived from
the Divine Itself (n. 10125, 10825, 10826).
His union with the Father, from whom was His soul, was not
as between two persons, but as between soul and body (n.
3737, 10824).
[7] The most ancient people could not worship the Divine
being [esse], but could worship only the Divine Outgo
[existere], which is the Divine Human; therefore the Lord
came into the world in order to become the Divine Existere
from the Divine Esse (n. 4687, 5321).
The ancients acknowledged the Divine because He appeared
to them in a human form, and this was the Divine Human (n.
5110, 5663, 6845, 10737).
The Infinite Being [Esse] could flow into heaven with the
angels and with men only by means of the Divine Human (n.
1676, 1990, 2016, 2034).
In heaven no other Divine than the Divine Human is
perceived (n. 6475, 9303, 10067, 10267).
The Divine Human from eternity was the Divine truth in
heaven and the Divine passing through heaven; thus it was
the Divine Outgo [existere] which afterwards in the Lord
became the Divine Being [Esse] per se, from which is the
Divine Existere in heaven (n. 3061, 6280, 6880, 10579).
What the state of heaven was before the Lord's coming (n.
6371-6373).
The Divine was not perceptible except when it passed
through heaven (n. 6982, 6996, 7004).
[8] The inhabitants of all the earth worship the Divine
under a human form, that is, the Lord (n. 6700, 8541-8547,
10736-10738).
They rejoice when they hear that God actually became Man
(n. 9361).
All who are in good and who worship the Divine under the
human form, are received by the Lord (n. 9359).
