AC 1013 - an image vs. a likeness of the Lord

AC 1013
What the image of God is, hardly anyone knows at the present day.
People say that the image of God was lost in the first man
whom they call Adam;
and that in him it was an image of God
which, they assert, possessed a certain perfection
with which they are not acquainted.
And indeed there was perfection,
for by "Adam" or "Man" is meant the "Most Ancient Church"
which was a celestial person,
and had perception, such as had no church after it;
by reason of which it was also a likeness of the Lord.
A likeness of the Lord signifies love to Him.

[2] After this church perished in the course of time,
the Lord created a new church,
which was not a celestial but a spiritual church.
This was not a likeness, but an image of the Lord.
An "image" signifies spiritual love,
that is, love to the neighbor, or charity . . ..
That charity is the "image of God"
is most clearly evident from the very essence of love, or charity.
Nothing else than love and charity
can make an image and likeness of anyone.
It is the essence of love and charity to make of two as it were one.
When one person loves another as himself, and more than himself,
he then sees the other in himself, and himself in the other.
This may be known to everyone if he only directs his attention to love,
or to those who love each other -
the will of the one is the will of the other,
they are interiorly as it were joined together,
and only in body distinct the one from the other.

[4] This union, which makes a likeness and image,
cannot be so well seen among people,
but is seen in heaven,
where from mutual love all the angels are as a one.
Each society, which consists of many,
constitutes as it were one person.
And all the societies together - or the universal heaven -
constitute one person,
which is also called the Grand Man.
The universal heaven is a likeness of the Lord,
for the Lord is the all in all who are therein.
So also is each society a likeness, and so is each angel.
The celestial angels are likenesses,
the spiritual angels are images.
Thus heaven consists of
as many likenesses of the Lord as there are angels,
and this solely through mutual love -
one loving another more than himself.
