De Domino #39
39. God Himself came into the world and put on the Human, and this He made Divine, John 1:1, 3, 14; that is
The Word was God and the Word became flesh.
Thus God became flesh, that is, Man. He was also the Creator, for it is said 'the world was made by Him'.
Also Isa. 9:6, 1 7:14; Jeremiah 23:5-6, 33:15-16; Isaiah 42:8; Malachi 3:1; Isaiah 25:9; also He was from eternity; from the Gospels.
Footnotes:
1. The verse numbered 6 appears in the Latin as 5 in accordance with the Schmidius Bible used by Swedenborg.
