Order

by Walter E. Orthwein

Order comes into our lives when, as a result of having undergone the softening effect of many temptation combats, we become receptive to the Lord's Divine love. Order is inherent in this love. It is from this love that all order comes, and it is for the sake of this love—so that we might receive it—that the Lord seeks to establish order in us.

Swedenborg– A True Philosopher

by David R Simons

Emanuel Swedenborg is recognized as a universal genius. To attempt to touch on his many achievements would take many lectures, so I am focusing these remarks on his accomplishments as a rational Christian philosopher who sought first "the kingdom of God," and who had the things of scientific intelligence, rational philosophy, and spiritual wisdom added to him by the Lord. In a "before and after" sketch of this brilliant mind, we can discover two things. First, before he became revelator, we see his ideals and the way he was prepared and led to achieve them. Second, as revelator we see these ideals opened, expanded, and ordered by the Lord to serve as the means of the Lord's Second Coming.
