Arcana Coelestia #10826
10826. Those who consider the Lord's Human to be like that of anyone else do not think of His being conceived from the Divine itself nor of His rising again with His whole body; nor do they think of the sight of Him when He was transfigured, that is, of His face shining like the sun. They neither know nor understand that any person's body is a resemblance or likeness of his soul, nor that the Lord even as to His Humanity is fully present or omnipresent 1 . For from this springs the belief that He is omnipresent in the Holy Supper. Omnipresence is a Divine attribute, Matthew 28:20.
Imibhalo yaphansi:
1. i.e. He is present at all times and in all places
