302. The glorification of the Lord's Human and the subjugation of the hells, were effected through temptations. The Lord underwent more grievous temptations than all others, Arcana Coelestia 1663, 1668, 1787, 2776, 2786, 2795, 2816, 4295, 9528. The Lord fought from the Divine Love towards the human race, Arcana Coelestia 1690, 1691, 1812, 1813, 1820. The Lord's Love was the salvation of the human race, Arcana Coelestia 1820. The hells fought against the Lord's Love, Arcana Coelestia 1820. The Lord alone, from His own power, fought against the hells, and overcame them, Arcana Coelestia 1692, 1813, 2816, 4295, 8273, 9937. The Lord alone thereby became Justice and Merit, Arcana Coelestia 1813, 2025-2027, 9715, 9809, 10019. The Lord's last temptation was in Gethsemane and upon the cross; and then also [He gained] the complete victory, through which He subjugated the hells, and at the same time glorified His Human, Arcana Coelestia 2776, 2803, 2813, 2814, 10655, 10659, 10828. The Lord could not be tempted as to the Divine Itself, Arcana Coelestia 2795, 2803, 2813, 2814. Wherefore He assumed an infirm Human from the mother, into which He admitted temptations, Arcana Coelestia 1414, 1444, 1573, 5041, 5157, 7193, 9315. Through temptations and victories He expelled everything hereditary from the mother, and He put off the human from her, till at length He was no longer her son, Arcana Coelestia 2159, 2574, 2649, 3036, 10830. In temptations, Jehovah, who was in Him, appeared as absent, and indeed in the proportion in which He was in the human from the mother, Arcana Coelestia 1815. This state was the state of the Lord's humiliation, Arcana Coelestia 1785, 1999, 2159, 6866. Through temptations and victories the Lord also arranged into order all things in the heavens, Arcana Coelestia 4287, 4295, 9528, 9937. Through the same temptations and victories He likewise united His Human with His Divine, that is, He glorified His Human, Arcana Coelestia 1725, 1729, 1733, 1737, 3318, 3381, 3382, 4286, 4287, 4295, 9528, 9937.
