3. I. GOD. SUMMARY. [I. There Is One God. II. This One God Is the Esse Itself, Which Is Jehovah. III. This God Himself Is from Eternity; and therefore Is Eternity itself. IV. God, Because He Is Esse Itself, and Is from Eternity, Is the Creator of the Universe. V. This Only God Is Love Itself, and Wisdom Itself; thus Life Itself. VI. He Created the Universe from the Divine Love through the Divine Wisdom, or Which Is the Same, from the Divine Good through the Divine Truth. VII. The Creation of the Universe with Him Had for an End an Angelic Heaven from the Human Race:
VIII. Consequently the Communication and Conjunction of His Love and His Wisdom with Men and Angels, and from It Their Blessedness and Felicity to Eternity. IX. This End Was in God the Creator from Eternity and Is to Eternity, and thence the Preservation of the Created Universe Is from Him. X. God through His Divine Proceeding Is Omnipotence, Omnipresence, and Omniscience.-(Apoc. Rev., n. 31.)] * * [ANNOTATIONS FROM THE MARGIN.] Theological subjects occupy the highest region of the human mind. These are Innumerable. God is in the midst of them. There is Influx from Hire below into each and every thing as from a sun. Hence speech, like knowledge of Him, pervades and fills all those things. Conjunction with Him makes man His image. Conjunction is effected through love and wisdom.
