AC 2102 - The Beautiful Nature of the Word

AC 2102 [2]

This whole chapter (Genesis 17) has treated of the union
of the Lord's Divine Essence with His Human Essence;
and concerning the conjunction of the Lord with man
by means of His Human Essence made Divine;
and also concerning circumcision,
that is, purification from the filthy things in man.
All these things are in one series,
and follow one from another;
for the union
of the Divine Essence with the Human Essence in the Lord
was effected to the end
that the Divine might be conjoined with man;
and the conjunction of the Divine with man
cannot be effected
unless man is purified from those loves;
but as soon as he is being purified from them,
the Lord's Divine Human flows in,
and thus conjoins man with itself.
This shows the nature of the Word,
namely, that when
what is signified in the internal sense is understood,
the Word is all connected together
in a becoming and beautiful series.
