AC 1426
That 'Abram' represents the Lord as regards His Human Essence
is clear from all that has been said concerning Abram.
Later on He represents Him
both as regards the Human Essence
and as regards the Divine Essence,
though by then he is called Abraham.
The things stated in verse 1 and down to the present verse 4
represent and mean a first awareness
that He was taking to Himself
celestial and thus Divine things.
Advances of His Human Essence
closer to His Divine Essence
begin here.
AC 1428
It is clear that the Lord was born like any other,
though from a woman who was a virgin,
and that He had sensory perception and bodily desires like any other,
but that He differed from any other
in that sensory perception and bodily desires
were eventually united to celestial things and made Divine.
The Lord's actual sensory perception and bodily desires
are represented by Lot,
. . . as it was during His state of childhood
and not as it became
once it had been united to the Divine
by means of celestial things.
