天
天堂是天上的和精神的东西。因此，它们是至高无上的东西，无论是天国还是地下世界的主国。这也指的是教会以及作为上帝王国或“教会”的每个人。因此，天堂表示与爱与慈善有关的所有事物，以及根植于其中的信仰，以及与内部崇拜有关的所有事物。它们以类似的方式表示与道的内在意义有关的所有事物。所有这些东西都是天堂，被称为“耶和华的宝座”。 如启示录21：1所述，“逝去的前天”象征着精神世界中那些仅在外在或表面上有好处的人们的社会。

建造
在圣经中，"建立 "其实有两个意思。当一个东西第一次被建造的时候，或者说是最典型的意义上的建造，它的意思是收集相对外在的思想，建立起一个教义体系--从某种意义上说，这是一个你可以使用或居住的结构。不过，在其他情况下，"建立 "是指已经被破坏的东西。例如，从战斗中留下的废墟，可以重新建造。在这些情况下，"建造 "指的是去除我们对邪恶的欲望，这样我们就可以开始一个新的灵性成长阶段。在这些情况下，"建立 "常常与 "兴起 "一起使用，意思是在同一过程中去除错误的思维方式。

后
按照瑞典博格的说法，时间和空间不存在于精神现实中，它们是纯粹的自然事物，只存在于物质层面。这就意味着，一个精神性的东西不可能在时间上的另一个精神性的东西 "之后 "发生，因为没有时间。而一个精神性的东西也不可能在空间上 "追随 "另一个精神性的东西，因为没有空间。 相反，灵性的现实是建立在灵性状态的基础上，或天使的爱和思想。这些爱和思想以因果链的方式连接在一起，天使们的体验就像我们体验时间一样；一个思想在精神层面上流向另一个思想，而天使们感觉到这种进步，就像我们感觉到一个时刻流向另一个时刻的进步一样。当天使有类似的思想和感觉时，他们体验到的亲近感和我们对肉体亲近感的体验是非常相同的；他们对 "空间 "的概念是整个精神世界中的灵魂所拥有的思想和情感的变化。 当《圣经》将某件事情描述为 "后边 "的东西时，那么，属灵的意义就与属灵状态的递进有关；它是在前边的东西基础上产生的新的属灵状态。由于较高的状态会流入较低的状态，所以 "之后 "的东西往往是较低的、较外在的状态。例如，内心深处对他人的善的渴望，会自动地流向具体的想法，即我们可以做的具体的善事。那么，这些具体的想法，就会 "在 "善的欲望之后。

之前
在大多数情况下，"之前 "的意思很直接，既是评估相对时间的一种方式，也是 "在某人面前 "的意思。但是，当它与主有关的时候，它的意义就更深了。在 "在 "主面前 "意味着不只是在主的同在，还意味着从他那里接受对善的渴望和对真理的理解，并按着它们生活。当用在与主有关的时间评价时，"在 "的意思是 "从永恒开始"，指的是一种属灵的状态，而不是我们所经历的时间。
