Swedenborg here unfolds the laws governing the spiritual world; describes the condition of good and evil spirits; and exhibits the general arrangement and surroundings of the inhabitants of heaven and hell. He treats of the form of heaven, in general and in particular; of its immensity, and of the innumerable societies of which it is composed; of the correspondence between the things of heaven and those of earth; of the sun of heaven, and of the light and heat proceeding therefrom; of representative appearances in heaven and of the changes of state experienced by angels; of their garments and habitations, their language and writings, their innocence and wisdom, their governments and worship; of the origin of heaven and its association with the human race by mean of the Word; of the future state of the heathen and of children, and of the occupations and joys of angels. He also treats of the World of Spirits, or the first state of man after death, and of the successive changes that he there passes through in preparation for his final abode; of the nature of hell, and the meaning of the terms "devil,""satan,""hell-fire," and " gnashing of teeth;" of the appearance, situation, and plurality of the hells, and of the wickedness and arts of infernal spirits.These presentations of the life of heaven and of hell are eminently practical, and in harmony with the teachings of Holy Scripture. They throw a flood of light upon many parts of the Word, and cannot fail to influence the lives of all who study them.

Swedenborg es uno de los más preclaros visionarios de la historia. Él fue el principal exponente en Occidente de la arcana teoría de las correspondencias, que se halla en la base del pensamiento analógico, según el cual todo en el orden natural y humano tiene una correspondencia con el orden espiritual. Mediante esta vía de conocimiento intuitivo a través de los símbolos mundanos le fue posible acceder a respuestas sobre la vida del más allá o la sede del alma. Swedenborg afirmó haber tenido una experiencia mística que le dio el poder para visitar Cielo e Infierno —como Fausto, mas en su caso por gracia divina y no por pacto diabólico— y contar a la humanidad los secretos de la vida después de la muerte. Del Cielo y del Infierno, publicado en 1758 con el título De caelo et ejus mirabilibus et de inferno, ex auditis et visis, es su libro más conocido sobre esta materia. En esta obra Swedenborg describe su vivencia de paso, su conocimiento de ángeles y demonios, y pone de manifiesto que Cielo e Infierno son, primero, estados del alma, y sólo después lugares. Tras la muerte del cuerpo físico, el individuo pasa un periodo en el mundo de los espíritus, y allí elige libremente ir al Cielo o al Infierno, que no son recompensa ni castigo, sino etapas en la evolución del espíritu.

1. The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Him, to show unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass; and He signified, sending by His angel to His servant John, 2. Who testified the Word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, whatsoever he saw. 3. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear, the words of the prophecy, and keep the things written therein: for the time is near. 4. John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from Him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven spirits who are before His throne; 5. And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first-born from the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To Him that loveth us, and washeth us from our sins in His blood: 6. And He maketh us kings and priests unto God and His Father: to Him be glory and might for ever and ever.

This work, originally published in 1766, unfolds the spiritual meaning of the Book of Revelation. It shows that by the "Seven Churches in Asia," to whom this prophecy is addressed, are meant the different classes of Christians of the present day; that the Last Judgment is not an event that is to occur at some future time in the natural world, but one that has already taken place in the world of spirits, and that " the New Jerusalem coming down like a bride out of heaven," symbolizes a new dispensation of truth now descending into the minds of men. Incidentally it explains numerous passages from other parts of the Word. Instructive narratives of things seen in the spiritual world are also interspersed between the chapters.

This work, originally published in 1763, treats of the operation of Divine love and Divine wisdom in the creation of the universe, including man as the chief end of creation. It explains the trinal distinction that exists in all created things, from the trinity in God, and shows how this is manifested in man, who is the image of the Divine. It unfolds the doctrine of Degrees, and explains the three discrete degrees of the human mind, showing how these are opened, and what is effected thereby. It also explains the origin of evil uses, and the origin, design, and tendency of good uses. It sets forth fully and clearly the philosophical basis of these doctrines; and is a work that no student of philosophy can afford to overlook.

This writing was left unpublished at Swedenborgs death, although it had apparently been carefully prepared for publication. Except towards the end it is almost exclusively an exposition of the spiritual sense of Scripture. Not only is every phrase in the Apocalypse (as far as covered) separately explained, but thousands of passages, gathered from all parts of the Word, are quoted and expounded. These expositions close with the tenth verse of the nineteenth chapter. Towards the end extended doctrinal discussions are introduced. Both for its exposition of passages of Scripture and for its doctrinal statements this is an exceedingly important and valuable work. It is especially instructive in its expositions of the Psalms, the Prophets, and the Gospels.

This nice little book offers one of Swedenborgs most important theological phrases for every day of the day. Neatly arranged by date and easily accessable via an interactive TOC you can read the best sentences from works like Arcana Coelestia, True Christian Religion, Divine Love and Wisdom, Conjugial Love, Divine Providence or Heaven and Hell.

This is the annotated edition including a very detailed biography about Swedenborg, his life and his writings.The grand and distinctive principle of Swedenborgian theology, next to the doctrine of the divine humanity, is the doctrine of life. God alone lives. Creation is deadman is dead; and their apparent life is the divine presence. God is everywhere the same. It fallaciously appears as if He were different in one man and in another. The difference is in the recipients; by one He is not received in the same degree as another.This edition contains the following writings:On The White HorseOn The Earths In The UniverseThe Last JudgmentLast Judgment ContinuedThe Doctrine Of FaithThe Doctrine Of LifeDoctrine Of Sacred ScripturesThe Doctrine Of CharityThe Doctrine Of The Lord
