Excerpt from Angelic Wisdom Concerning the Divine Love and Concerning the Divine Wisdom 234. The Lord from eternity, or Jehovah, put on this third degree by the assumption of the Human in the world, because it was not possible for Him to enter into this de gree except by means of a nature similar to the human nature, thus by conception from His Divine, and by birth from a virgin; for thus He could put off the nature which in itself is dead, and still a receptacle of the Divine, and put on the Divine. This is meant by the Lord's two states in the world, which are called the state of exinanition and. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Angelic Wisdom Concerning the Divine Love and the Divine Wisdom The present Translation is based upon the recommendations of The Revision Committee of the Swedenborg Society; and it is believed that in technical respects those recommendations have been fully carried out. In addition to this, fidelity to the matter and manner of Swedenborg has governed the translation. More remains to be done in the same direction even with this small work. There are phrases which are still to be solved into English idioms by the painstaking translator of the future. But at present it has not seemed advisable to put idiomatic English in the place, and Swedenborg's forms of speech in the second. There is temptation to do so. But whenever the process has been attempted, the immediate result has shown that some pregnant meaning has escaped in the altered phrase. Swedenborg is ever clear and definite, and employs unusual forms of speech only for unusual purposes. To convert these forms into current English would void their intrinsic meaning. A great part of the present work is of this unusual significance; being an expression of hitherto unknown spiritual things in the imperfect vehicle of natural language; and therefore, to correspond to the occasion, the phraseology is unusual. The Latin however is always felicitous and express, and the attempt has been made to emulate it in this respect, and yet to carry it over into an English as idiomatic as possible. The apparent repetitions of Swedenborg are inevitable subjects of a translator's thought. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This work, originally published in 1763, treats of the operation of Divine love and Divine wisdom in the creation of the universe, including man as the chief end of creation. It explains the trinal distinction that exists in all created things, from the trinity in God, and shows how this is manifested in man, who is the image of the Divine. It unfolds the doctrine of Degrees, and explains the three discrete degrees of the human mind, showing how these are opened, and what is effected thereby. It also explains the origin of evil uses, and the origin, design, and tendency of good uses. It sets forth fully and clearly the philosophical basis of these doctrines; and is a work that no student of philosophy can afford to overlook.
