The SwEDENBoRoIAN DOCTRINE
According to the Swedenborg, there are
three heavens, consisting Of three or
ders Of angels; the first distinguished
for love, the second for wisdom, and the
last for obedience. All angels have
lived on earth none were created such
They are men aud women in every re-
speet they marry, and live In cities and
countries just as 10 the world, but in
happiness and glory ineffablc, All in
whom love to God aud man is the ruling
principle, go to heaveo 1T death. Be-
tween heaven and hell perfect equili-
brium is maintained. As there are
three heavens, there are three hells and
every angelic society has an internal
antagonist. Hell, as whole, Is called
the devil aud satan; there is no indi.
vidual bearing that name. All in whom
self.love is the ruling motive, 20 to hell
There Is no resurrection Of the earthly
body. Every one passes to his final lot
at death, some make short scjouru 10
al internediste state, designated the
world Of spiriss, where the good are
cured Of their superficial infirmisies and
intellectual mistakes, and the evil reject
all their pretencos to good.
