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.

Marriage #21

21. (8) Consequently the heavenly joys, which the angels have only from this source, are countless, and hardly one of that countless number is known in the world, because today adultery reigns there, even as a result of falsity of doctrine; but they were known in part to the most ancient men.
