What Abram s., 1732, 1741. What Abram the Hebrew s., 1702, 1741. Abram r. the Lord in that state and in that age, 1989; the common stock of the Church where the Word is, 3778, and the genuine Church, 4206, 4207.

If the historicals were the Word, apart from the internal sense, many, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, would be esteemed as saints and as gods, when yet there is nothing more in them than in others, in the other life, 3229. When Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are named in the Word, the Lord is understood, in heaven, and as to the Divine Itself and the Divine Human: shown, 6804.

Adulterers wish to obsess men, 2752; are cruel, 824; excite pain in the loins and genital members, 5059, 5060. The greatest adulterers, when they apply themselves, induce pain in the periostea everywhere and heaviness in the stomach, 5714. Adulterers do not fear Divine and human laws, but they fear blows, 2748. How filthy their ideas are, 2747, 2748. Adulteries are also destructive of society, since all adulterers are in the love of self, 2045:2. Marriages are most holy, but adulteries are most profane, 9961:4; they are profane and from hell, 10174. They who take delight in adulteries do not believe those things which relate to heaven and the Church, because it is from the marriage of evil and falsity, which is infernal, 10175.

When anyone commits adultery on earth, heaven is closed against him; his character hereafter, 2750. Adulterers cannot come into heaven, 2747, 2748. It is impossible for them to enter into heaven, 827; they cannot approach to heaven, and adulteries are contrary to conjugial love, the laws of both kingdoms, and order, 2733:2. An adulterer approaching towards heaven rejected, 539. By accustomed blandishments adulterers insinuated themselves into societies, but were rejected, beaten, and at length associated with their like in the hells, 2753. Angelic bliss and felicity communicated to adulterers become nauseous, painful, and stinking, on which account they cast themselves together into hell, 2749.

Concerning the hells of those who have lived in adulteries and lasciviousness, see HELL. In their hells they love dirt and excrements, 2755. Concerning those who are most filthy; their filthiness is unmentionable; their character and hell, 5722. Adulterers are in the excrementitious hells, 5394. The most deceitful adulterers beyond others, are above the head: they ensnare by means of innocence and mercy; their hell is the most grievous, 2754. The hell of cruel adulterers is under the right foot, where those are who are of the Jewish nation; from experience, 5057. A body of adulterers which sends out investigators who report that they are against conjugial love, good and truth, and the Lord, 2751. Adulterers who are in contraries are they who ensnare in conjugial love, by means of love, friendship, and kindnesses; concerning whom from experience, 5060. The very grievous punishment of those who have communion of wives, 2756. One who by adulteries and whoredoms extinguished the desire for marriage and the procreation of offspring; his punishment, 2746. With the lascivious who have not extinguished the desire of procreating offspring there is heat, 2757. The hell of those from the Church who have lived in faith separated from charity, and in a life of evil, is under that of adulterers; the reason, 8137:2.

Adulteries d. the perversions of truth and good, 3399; adulterations of good, and whoredoms d. falsifications of truth; this is from representative things, 2466, 2729.

Affection (affectio). See also LOVE, CHARITY. Affection is that which is continuous of love, 3339:8. What the delight of affection is, 3933e. See DELIGHTFULNESS. Celestial affections are altogether incomprehensible and inexpressible, 3339:2, 3857:3. Every affection contains in itself things innumerable; concerning which things; and the affection is the whole man, 3078, 3189. To one affection there are many subordinate affections, and these in an incomprehensible form, 3189. The quality of the love and affection of a man is known from the end; concerning which subject see 3796:2.

There is an affection of good and an affection of truth; what the distinction between them is, 1904, 1997. The quality of those who are in the affection of good, and that of those in the affection of truth; the distinction, 2425:2, 2429:2. There is an affection of rational truth, and that of scientific truth, 2503. The first affection in the natural man is not that of genuine truth, but the affection of this truth comes afterwards, 3040. What the genuine affection of truth is, and its nature; and what the affection of truth, not genuine, is, and its nature; the distinction, 8993:3. Affections, when they ascend or are elevated towards the interiors, become gentler, and other spiritual affections are substituted, 3909. The affection of truth appears to be from truth, but it is from good, 4373. All affections are bonds, and they are external and internal, 3835. Those who are in truths without affection, [who are man-servants,] and those who are in truths from affection, who are maid-servants; the distinction between them, 8994:3.

Affections are what excite truths and falsities, 2480e. The celestial angels form to themselves lights of affections, and then of ideas, from the affection of good and truth in the Word, 2157, 2275. Conjunction is made by means of affections, 3939. The conjunction of truth with good is made by means of affection, 3024. By means of affections the implantation and conjunction of the love of good and truth are effected: illustrated, 4018. Truths are nothing without affections: illustrated, 3849. The affection of good is adjoined to truth in the natural man by the Lord, with man, and, through the affection of good, truths are produced, and so falsities and evils are removed, 3336:3. Affection is insinuated by means of refusal, 4366, 4368. Truth without affection does not enter, still less inhere, 3066. Affection always adjoins itself to the subjects which are implanted in the memory, and is, together with them, reproduced, 3336:2. Heavenly freedom is from the affection of truth and good, and infernal freedom, from the affection of falsity and evil, 2873. See FREEDOM. To imitate affections, as if they were heavenly, from the proprium, is infernal, 10309.

All affections have gestures corresponding to them, 2153. Affections are sd. by little children, girls, young women, and daughters, but with a difference, 3067.

Affinity (affinitas). There are affinities of love and faith, 917. There are consanguinities and affinities relating to heavenly loves, 2739. With all things in man there are consanguinities and affinities, 2508, 2524, 2556. If men recognised and perceived what good is, they would then first know innumerable things: namely, the proximities of good and truth, such as they are in heaven, 3612. Societies in heaven are situated like consanguinities and affinities on earth, 685.

All consanguinity in heaven is from good, and proceeds therefrom, 3815. Consanguinities and affinities in the other life take place according to good, 4121. To contract affinities d. union, 4450.

Affirmative (affirmativum). The affirmative of good and truth must be the first thing of man's regeneration, 3923. There must be the affirmative of truth before the influx of good from the Lord can be received, 3913e. They who consult scientifics concerning Divine things, if they are in an affirmative state, are confirmed; if in a negative state, they are weakened, and at length believe nothing, 4760. The learned more than the simple do this; and they believe less, because they consult scientifics from a negative state, and so deprive themselves of interior sight, 4760:4.

Affliction (afflictio). Affliction is predicated respecting truth, 4060; d. temptation, 1846, 5356; the means of arriving at good, 3864; infestation, 6663, 6851.

The altar and the temple were the principal representatives of the Lord, 921, 2777, 2811; and altars primarily sd. the Lord's Divine Human, as does the Holy Supper, 2811. Altar d. what is holy of worship, 4541; also what is built in witness and memory: shown, 8623; a representative of the Lord, and the worship of Him, as to good: shown, 9714; the principal representative of the Lord, and the worship of Him: references, 10642; heaven and the Church as to the reception of good from the Lord: illustrated and shown, 10123, 10151; the representative of the Lord as to the Divine Good; statues d. the same as to the Divine Truth, 9388, 9389.

Anakim (Anakim, Enakim). See NEPHILIM [and PERSUASION.

Ancients. See under ANGEL.] And (et). 'And' was used in the place of punctuation, as was also' it came to pass,' 5578.

Angel (angelus). See also HEAVEN, [ARMY, and BEAUTY]. All spirits and angels have been men, 1880; they appear as men; whence, 3633. Angels are forms of love and charity, 3804:2, 9879; they are images of love and charity under the human form, 4735:2; they are of ineffable beauty, and are as loves and charities in form, 4985; they are of ineffable, beauty, because they are in the form of heaven, 5199. Those who are in hell appear to themselves, in their own light, as men, but looked into by angels, as devils and monsters; whence this is, 4533. The deceitful, looked into by angels, appear as serpents and vipers, 4533.

Concerning the spirits and angels with man, 5846-5866, and 5976-5993. See MAN (homo). With every man there are evil spirits and angels, 2887, 2888. According to the doctrine of the churches, in some measure, there are spirits from hell and angels from heaven with man, 5979:2. Angels and spirits are always present with man, 968. There are two angels with man, because there are two kinds of them: celestial and spiritual, 5978. That man may live, angels from heaven and spirits from hell must be adjoined to him, 5993. Angels are successively with infants and children, 2303. A man is governed by means of spirits and angels, from the Lord, 50,697. All changes of state with motion, as to voluntary things as well as to intellectual things, are regulated by the Lord through spirits and angels, 2796. Angels protect a man in various ways, they inspire goods, and this from love which is from the Lord, 5992; they rule over evil spirits, 1755. Angels with men do not attend, except to ends, 1645e; they bend evils toward goods, 5980. Spirits and angels perceive the interior things of man's thought, 1931 - Angels from certain societies see from causes what is with man, 4073e. Angels flow into the truths of faith with man: illustrated, 5893. See REGENERATION. Angels dwell in everyone's affection, 3464; they dwell with those who are in the good of faith, 2268; they feel exquisitely what enters with a man, 228. In spirits and angels every sense, except taste, is more exquisite than in man, 1880, 1381.

Angels regard man as a brother, but evil spirits regard him as a vile slave, 2890. With what charity and joy those who are let in are received; they are received by angels into the heavens, and how they come into agreeable societies, 2131. Celestial angels occupy the province of the heart, and two sit at the head, when a man is resuscitated from the dead, 168-181; spiritual angels succeed them, 132-189. Angels do not forsake the resuscitated man, but he desires to depart from them, 182. Because angels love everyone, they do not relinquish a soul, but it desires to depart from them, and dissociates itself, 314-316; they are very indignant when compelled to retire, 4077.

A man, an angel, or a spirit is according to his love: illustrated, 10177. A man is in the society of such spirits or angels as he himself is; concerning which, 4067:3, 4073:2, 4077:2. Angels who are in similar good know each other as if they had been acquainted from infancy, and it is from this that truths with man acknowledge and conjoin themselves, 9079:2.

There are three heavens; those of spirits, of angelic spirits, and of angels; in each of which there are both celestial and spiritual angels, 459. The angels of the three heavens are subordinate to each other, 1752; but the subordination is not that of command, 1802. Concerning the heavenly freedom in which angels are, see FREEDOM. The whole of an angels power is from the Lord, 1752. There are angels who are nearer to the Lord and those who are remoter, or, who are interior and exterior, 1802:2. The Lord appears to celestial angels as the Sun, to spiritual angels as the Moon, 1529-1531.

Angels are continually being purified, and can never come to perfection, 4803. Evil is not separated from a man or an angel, but he is withheld from evil, and so held in good, 1581. Those who are in evil associate themselves with societies, those who are in good are adjoined by the Lord to them, 4073:2. The changes of angels' states appear in their faces according to the societies into which they come, 4797; which things were seen, 4797. Angels appear in the heavens clad in garments 165; those who are likenesses of the Lord appear in radiance and white, after the likeness of the Lord in the transfiguration, 5530:2. Angels are veiled by a thin and suitable cloud lest they should be hurt by the Divine influx, 6849. See also FIRE.

What angels introduce beautiful dreams, 1977. The influx of angels is like streams of flaming light, 6209; it is into conscience, 6207, 6213. Conscience is from the combat of spirits and angels, 227. In temptations there are indignations and many affections, 1917. Angels were with the Lord when He fought, 1705, 1752; He had societies of spirits and angels with Him, yet He took nothing from them, but through them from the Divine, 4075. He admitted into Himself temptations from angels, 4295:3. Angels have no name, but are named from their quality as to good, 1705; and are distinguished by goods and truths, 1754. The base and filthy things of infernal spirits are turned into milder things with angels, 5981. See also SUBJECTS. Angels moderate penalties in the other life, but cannot take them away, 967. The angelic life consists in use and the goods of charity, 454.

They who are in love to the Lord and charity have angelic wisdom in them, but obscurely; they come into it after death, 2494. The wisdom of angels continually increases in the other life, yet they cannot advance far beyond the first degree, 6648. Nothing of an angel's intelligence and wisdom is from himself, but from the Lord, 4295:2. Angels are in wisdom above that of man, 3404, 3405. There are innumerable things which are apprehended by angels, but not by men, 2786, 2795, 2796, 2802; they apprehend innumerable things of which man does not apprehend even the most general: exemplified, 3314; they comprehend and see innumerable things of which man knows not even that they are, still less what they are, 9176e. Angelic wisdom is ineffable: illustrated, and from experience, 9094. Angels are in wisdom and intelligence, and in the principles of things, and they see all things which are beneath, because they are in celestial and spiritual love, 2572:3. Thoughts and affections extend themselves far into angelic societies, 6598-6613. See To THINK. Angelic ideas are alive, because they refer natural things to spiritual, and to such as relate to man, 7847. The state of angels as to those things which relate to the memory, 2493. Celestial angels form for themselves lights of ideas, from affection, 2802; they never wish to name faith, but they perceive love, with a difference known to them, 202; with the spiritual angels it is otherwise, 203.

The speech of spirits and angels, 1634-1650. See To SPEAK and LANGUAGE. The difference of the speech of spirits, angelic spirits, and angels, 1642. The speech of angelic spirits described, 1643. The speech of angels in the world of spirits appears like the light of a flame, 1646. The case of thoughts and speech of angels is as internal things in the body are with respect to external, 3347; for ideas they have ends and uses, 1645. The speech of celestial angels is distinct from that of spiritual angels, and is also more copious, 1647; because they form for themselves lights of ideas from the affections in the Word, 2157; but the spiritual form significations of things, 2157, 2275. Because celestial angels derive all things from love, their speech is more incomprehensible than that of spiritual angels, 880e. What angels speak of among themselves, 5249e. When the wise ancients thought about God, they thought of the Divine Human, as angels do, 6876:2. The state of angels when they speak, not from themselves, but from the Lord, 1745:2. How it is with angels, when the Lord speaks by means of them, that they know not but that they are the Lord, 1925. The man of the Most Ancient Church spake with angels, but not those afterwards, they spake, but in another manner, 784. I have spoken with spirits and angels; and man was so created that he might speak with them, 5, 67-69, 1880. See TO SPEAK. Angels see nothing that is in the solar world; they have seen through my eyes, 1880; when this first happened, it was regarded as a miracle, 1880:2. Heaven and earth were so united from their first creation, 1880:2. It is dangerous for man to have heaven opened to him, 784e.

The internal sense is for angels, and to them it is precious, though of slight account with man, 2540:2, 2541, 2545, 2551, 2574:3. Many things in the internal sense come within the angelic apprehension, because angels are in the light of heaven, which do not come within man s apprehension, because he is in the light of the world, 2618, 2619, 2629e. Because the Word in the highest sense treats of the Lord's glorification, and in the representative sense of man's regeneration, therefore, they who are in the Lord enter into angelic wisdom and happiness, 5688e.

The Lord as to the Divine Human is called the angel of Jehovah; the reason is that the Human Divine formerly appeared as an angel when Jehovah or the Divine Itself passed through heaven, 6831. The Lord is an angel, and is called an angel as to the Divine Human: briefly shown, 9303. The man who receives the Divine is also called an angel: shown, 10528. Many are called an angel, and named an angel, as Michael, which d. the function, 8192:3. See GOD. An angel, in the supreme sense, d. the Lord as to the Divine Human, and also the Divine of the Lord with angels and men: briefly shown, 10528. The Lord is understood by angels in the Word, but what with respect to the Lord is sd. appears from the series, 1925e. By angels are sd. the Lord, and why, 3039; and an angel d. the Divine Providence, 3039. An angel s. something of the Lord, 2821; and the reason is that angels do not speak from themselves, and do not attribute good and truth to themselves, 4085. Angels d. Divine Truth: illustrated, 8192:2. Two angels s. the Divine Human and the Holy which proceeds from the Lord, 2319.

Anger (ira). Anger is described as being a flame in the understanding breaking forth from the fire, when love is assailed: illustrated, 9144. Anger and evil are from man, and not from the Lord, although they are attributed to Him: references, 9306:4. When anger is attributed to God, it is with man: shown, 5798; also to the Lord, when yet it is with man, 8483; and to Jehovah; the reasons: shown, 6997:3. The love and mercy of the Lord appear to the evil as anger, when they are punished; thence it is called anger: shown, 8875. Zeal has good in it; anger, evil, 4164. Anger is predicated of evil, wrath of falsity, 6358, 6359.

The truths of man are appearances, 2196:2, 2203, 2209, 2242:2. Appearances of truth with angels, and with men who are in good, are received by the Lord as truths, 3207. The doctrine of faith is invested with such appearances as are from human conditions, 2719, 2723. Those appearances are listened to as truths which belong to doctrinals, 3364, 3365. See To APPEAR. Rational things are appearances of truth, 3368:2. Truths Divine flow in by means of appearances with angels and men, otherwise they could not at all be apprehended, 3362; they are in appearances with angels and men, because Divine things cannot otherwise be apprehended, 3364e, 3356e. Appearances of truth are and exist by means of influx from the Divine of the Lord into rational things, and therefrom into natural things, where they are presented as an image of many things in a mirror, so that those which are in heaven appertaining to the angels are presented in the world of spirits, from which are representations, 3368:3. Representations in the other life are appearances, but living, thus real, which are from the light of heaven, which is wisdom and life from the Lord; but those which are in the light of the world are relatively not real, except so far as they are conjoined with those which are of the light of heaven, 3485.
