#65 Jesus the Creator, Jehovah the Redeemer: Understanding the Holy Trinity
By Jonathan S. Rose
Title: Jesus the Creator, Jehovah the Redeemer
Topic: Trinity/Unity
Summary: We explore the unity and trinity in God--how the "Father" relates to the "Son," the "Word," and the "Holy Spirit." Fairly absurd concrete analogies are brought to bear on these important but mystical truths.

Heaven and Hell #59
59. The Whole Heaven, Grasped as a Single Entity, Reflects a Single Individual
It is a secret not yet known in this world that heaven, taken in a single all-inclusive grasp, reflects a single individual. In heaven, though, nothing is better known. Knowing this, knowing particulars and details about it, is the hallmark of angelic intelligence there. In fact, many other things follow from it and do not come clearly and distinctly to mind without this as their general principle. Since angels do know that all the heavens, like their communities, reflect a single individual, they refer to heaven as the universal and divine human 1 -"divine" because the Lord's divine nature constitutes heaven (see above, 7-12).
Footnotes:
1. [Swedenborg's footnote] Heaven in a single grasp appears in the form of a person, and therefore heaven is called the universal human: 2996, 2998, 3624-3649, 3636-3643, 3741-3745, 4625.
