AC 10269
. . . anointing represented
the Lord as to the Divine Human;
for the Lord as to His Divine Human
was alone the anointed of Jehovah,
because in Him, from conception,
and consequently in His Human,
there was the Divine of the Father.
It is possible to know
that the human body proceeds from
the being of the father
which is called his soul;
for the likeness of the father in respect
to the various affections which are of love
appears in the children even in their faces.
From this each family derives
its own peculiarities
by which it is distinguished from others.
What then must have been the case with the Lord,
in whom the Divine Itself was His being
which is called the soul?
So it is that the Lord says,
"He that has seen Me has seen the Father.
Believe Me that I am in the Father,
and the Father in Me."
(John 14:9, 11)
AC 10270
The Lord inflows immediately from His Divine Human
into the celestial good which is of the inmost heaven.
The Lord inflows from the Divine Human
into the spiritual good
which is of the second heaven,
and also mediately through celestial good.
And the Lord inflows from the Divine Human
into the spiritual natural good,
which is of the ultimate heaven,
and again also mediately.
It is said "also mediately,"
because the Lord not only
flows into the goods of these heavens mediately,
but also immediately.
