AC 2811
. . . the Lord's Divine Human
is all worship and all doctrine;
so much so
as to be worship itself and doctrine itself . . ..
The final preparation of the Lord's Human Divine
for undergoing the last degrees of temptation
is treated of in this verse (Genesis 22:9),
and is described by Abraham laying the wood in order,
binding Isaac his son,
and placing him on the altar of wood.
AC 2813
It was Truth Divine
which was no longer acknowledged
when the Lord came into the world,
and therefore it was that from which
the Lord underwent and endured temptations.
Truth Divine in the Lord
is what is called the "Son of man,"
but Good Divine
is what is called the "Son of God."
Of the "Son of man"
the Lord says many times
that He was to suffer,
but never of the Son of God.
AC 2814
The Truth Divine in the Lord's Human Divine,
which underwent the temptations,
and which has been treated of,
is not the Divine Truth itself,
for this is above all temptation;
but it is rational truth,
such as the angels have,
consisting in the appearances of truth,
and is what is called the "Son of man,"
but before the glorification.
But the Divine Truth
in the Lord's glorified Divine Human
is above appearances,
nor can it possibly come to any understanding,
and still less to the apprehension of a person,
nor even to that of angels,
and thus not at all to anything of temptation.
It appears in the heavens as light
which is from the Lord.
