Spiritual Experiences # 1974

1974. As for the meaning of "evening and morning," in all phases of regeneration, both general and particular, the progression starts from evening, and tends toward morning. In general, the evening of those who are being regenerated is misery, temptations, despair, but they arrive at the morning. So also in detail, in all phases of regeneration one begins from evils, which are turned into good. And it is worth remembering that evil spirits begin, out of their own fantasies and passions, to arouse the person, but that these evils are turned into good in various ways. This has been revealed to me by experience lasting 3 years. So that is "evening and morning," and it applies to every least phase. Therefore it is the process not only of regeneration, but also of the perception of goodness. 1748, 16 May.

10322. What comes from God comes down to mankind by way of the heavens. For this reason it is suited in the heavens to the wisdom of angels in heaven, and on earth to the apprehension of people on earth. Therefore the Word contains an internal or spiritual sense for angels and an external or natural sense for people on earth; and because of this, heaven is linked to mankind by means of the Word.
