THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD IN HEAVEN.
Shall we see God? Heaven in the soul. The Lord in the angels is the life of heaven. The divine sphere. Heaven symbolizes the Lord. The Lord is the Sun of heaven. The Lord is a Divine Man—hence He may be visible. God never appears to man or angel as He really is. How does He appear? "The Angel of Jehovah." The three men who visited Abraham. The two angels who saved Lot. Did God manifest Himself to Swedenborg? Christ seen and recognized as the Supreme God by those who had known Him on earth. The Lord present in the Word in heaven. How is the Word divine? The unfolding of its spiritual sense equivalent to a second coming of the Lord |

THE OCCUPATIONS OF HEAVEN.
Dr. Chalmers' repudiation of an immaterial heaven. Swedenborg's substantial heaven. What is the materiel of heaven? How is it organized? Spiritual Anatomy or the transcendental philosophy of Form. Occupations not material and not immaterial nor purely mental, but spiritual and substantial. Love the all of religion or the heavenly life. Social, civil and domestic affairs in heaven. Ministering spirits and their labors. Unitary and composite perfection |
