AC 4931 - Heaven and Earth
. . . heaven has reference to the Lord,
for the Lord is the all in all of heaven,
insomuch that heaven is in the proper sense
the Divine good and Divine truth
which are from the Lord.
For this reason
heaven is distinguished into as many provinces,
so to speak,
as there are viscera, organs, and members in a person,
and with these also there is correspondence.
Unless there were such a correspondence
of a person with heaven,
and through heaven with the Lord,
a person would not subsist even a single moment.
All these things are kept in connection by influx.
AC 4932 - Hands, Arms, and Shoulders
Those in the Grand Man
who correspond to the hands and arms,
and also to the shoulders,
are those who have
power by the truth of faith from good.
For those who are in the truth of faith from good
are in the power of the Lord
because they attribute all power to Him,
and none to themselves;
and the more they attribute none to themselves --
not with the lips, but with the heart --
the more they are in power.
From this the angels are called potencies and powers.
