3624. THE CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE GRAND MAN, WHICH IS HEAVEN, OF ALL THE ORGANS AND LIMBS, BOTH INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR, OF THE HUMAN BEING

Let me now tell of and describe marvels which, so far as I know, have not as yet been known to anyone, nor has even the idea of them entered anyone's head - the marvel that the whole of heaven has been formed in such a way that it corresponds to the Lord, to His Divine Human; also the marvel that the human being has been formed in such a way that every single part of him corresponds to heaven, and through heaven to the Lord. This is a great mystery which is now to be revealed, it being the subject here and at the ends of chapters that follow this.

The Most Important Teachings About Order

By Rev. Prescott A. Rogers

Christ driving the money-changers from the temple

And God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. (Genesis 1:31).

1. All order is from the Lord.

2. It exists in all of creation, spiritual and natural.

3. Disorder is the perversion of order, and it exists in hell and in the world.

4. Order is a matter of essence, having to do with love and wisdom, and of form.
