AC 6135 [3] - "Body"
That in the genuine sense "body" is the good of love,
is very
evident from the angels,
for when they become present,
love so
pours out of them
that you would believe them to be nothing but
love,
and this from their whole body,
which also appears bright
and shining
from the light which is from the love;
for the good of
love is like a flame
which emits from itself light,
which is the
truth of faith derived from there.
This being the character of the
angels in heaven,
what must not the Lord Himself be,
from whom the
angels have everything of love,
and whose Divine Love appears as a
Sun
from which the universal heaven has its light,
and all who are
therein have their heavenly heat,
that is, their love, thus their
life.
It is the Lord's Divine Human which so appears,
and from
which all these things are.
From this it is evident what is meant
by
the Lord's "body," namely, the Divine love,
in like manner as
by His "flesh".
Moreover the Lord's very body when
glorified,
that is, made Divine, is nothing else.
What else must
we think about the Divine,
which is infinite?
