Divine Love and Wisdom (Rogers) n. 151

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

151. The Lord created the universe and everything in it by means of the sun which is the first emanation of His Divine love and wisdom. By the Lord we mean God from eternity or Jehovah, who is called the Father and the Creator, because the Lord is identical with Him, as we showed in The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Regarding the Lord. Consequently in subsequent discussions where we again consider creation, we use the term Lord.
