AC 1203 - Spiritual and Celestial Things Joined Together

AC 1203

It is customary in the Prophets
for spiritual and celestial things to be joined together,
that is, where spiritual things are treated of,
celestial things are also treated of;
for the reason that the one is from the other,
and there is a certain want of perfection
if they are not conjoined;
so that there is an image of the heavenly marriage
in each and all things of the Word.
. . . Spiritual things, as has often been said before,
are those which are of faith;
and celestial things are those which are of love;
and again,
spiritual things are those
which are of the understanding,
and celestial things are those which are of the will.
