AC 10047 - sacrifices and burnt offerings

AC 10047 [2-3]
It was said above that in this chapter the subject treated of
is the glorification of the Lord's Human,
and in the representative sense
the regeneration of a person by the Lord.
As regards the glorification of the Lord's Human,
it was effected by the union of Divine truth with Divine good.
The Divine good, which is Jehovah,
was in the Lord as the soul from the father in man,
for He was conceived of Jehovah,
and through Divine means He made His Human Divine truth,
especially through the combats of temptations;
and insofar as He united it
He glorified it,
that is, made it Divine.
This union is what is signified in the supreme sense
by "sprinkling the blood round about the altar."

As the Lord glorified His Human,
so also He regenerates a person;
for with a person the Lord flows in with good through the soul,
which is through the internal way,
and with truth through the hearing and the sight,
which is through the external way;
and insofar as a person desists from evils,
so far the Lord conjoins the good with truth,
and the good becomes of charity toward the neighbor
and of love to God,
and the truth becomes of faith.
So does the Lord create the person anew, or regenerate him;
for as before said the regeneration of a person
is effected by purification from evils and falsities,
by the implantation of good and truth,
and by the conjunction of these.
The regeneration of a person,
and in the supreme sense the glorification of the Lord's Human,
is what is represented by the sacrifices and burnt-offerings.
