AE 850a - the Lord's presence is perpetual

AE 850a
The presence of the Lord is perpetual
in the whole heaven and in the whole church;
for heaven is not heaven from what is the angels' own [proprium] in it,
nor is the church a church from what is a person's own [proprium] in it,
but from the Divine of the Lord with them.
For an angel's own [proprium] cannot make heaven,
nor a person's own [proprium] the church,
since the own [proprium], both of angels and of people, is not good.
Consequently it is the Divine that goes forth from the Lord,
as received by them,
that makes heaven and the church in particular with each one,
and thus makes heaven and the church in general
in all in whom heaven and the church exist.
Consequently it is evident
that the presence of the Lord is perpetual
with all who are in heaven and in the church;
but it is a presence that is peaceful, tranquil, preserving, and sustaining,
by which all things in the heavens and on the earth
are held constantly in their order and connection,
or are reduced to that order; so, too, in the hells.
