Nota Preliminar al lector:

Siéndome por varias razones imposible realizar mi deseo de presentar por ahora una traducción completa de La Verdadera Religión Cristiana, Y por otra parte convencido de que las verdades expuestas por Swedenborg en dicha obra, aun siendo presentadas en forma abreviada, han de prestar valioso servicio a los que con sinceridad buscan la verdad, ofrezco la presente abreviación, entre tanto que la traducción completa pueda efectuarse, deseando cordialmente que resulte un medio en la mano del Señor para bendecir a muchos.

En esta abreviación he procurado en lo posible ceñirme a la letra del original, empleando las palabras del mismo Swedenborg tanto como la forma abreviada lo ha permitido.

276. Verses 6-8. And in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four animals full of eyes before and behind. And the first animal was like a lion, and the second animal like a calf, and the third animal had a face as a man, and the fourth animal was like a flying eagle. And the four animals had each by itself six wings roundabout; and they were full of eyes within, and they had no rest day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come.

"And in the midst of the throne and round about the throne were four animals full of eyes before and behind," signifies the guardianship and providence of the Lord to prevent the interior heavens being approached, except by the good of love and of charity, that lower things thence depending may be in order.

"And the first animal was like a lion," signifies the appearance in ultimates of Divine truth proceeding from the Lord as to the power and effect; "and the second animal like a calf," signifies the appearance in ultimates of Divine good as to defence; "and the third animal had a face as a man," signifies the appearance in ultimates of the Lord's Divine guardianship and providence as to wisdom; "and the fourth animal was like a flying eagle," signifies the appearance in ultimates of the Divine guardianship and providence as to intelligence, and as to circumspection in every direction.

"And the four animals had, each by itself six wings roundabout," signifies the appearance of the Divine spiritual in every direction around the Divine celestial; "and they were full of eyes within," signifies the Divine providence and guardianship; "and they had no rest day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy," signifies what is most holy proceeding from the Lord; "Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come," signifies who is infinite and eternal.
