Arcana Coelestia #547
547. CHAPTER 6
HEAVEN AND HEAVENLY JOY - continued
All souls who enter the next life are ignorant of what heaven is and what heavenly joy is. The majority imagine it to be a form of joy which any can be let into no matter how they have lived, even those who have hated their neighbour and have gone through life committing adultery. They are totally unaware of the fact that heaven is mutual and chaste love, and that heavenly joy is the resulting happiness.
Sent
'Being sent' means coming forth, (or going forth), in the internal sense, as in John 17:8. In similar manner, it is said of the holy of the spirit, that it was 'sent,' that is, it goes forth from the divine of the Lord, as in John 15:26, 16:5, 7.
So, too, the prophets were called 'the sent,' because the words which they spoke went forth from the holy of the spirit of the Lord.
'To be sent,' as in Genesis 37:13, signifies teaching.
