     [8] The inhabitants of all the earth worship the Divine
     under a human form, that is, the Lord (n. 6700, 8541-8547,
     10736-10738).

     They rejoice when they hear that God actually became Man
     (n. 9361).

     All who are in good and who worship the Divine under the
     human form, are received by the Lord (n. 9359).

     God cannot be thought of except in human form; and what is
     incomprehensible does not fall into any idea, so neither
     into belief (n. 9359, 9972).

     Man is able to worship that of which he has some idea, but
     not that of which he has no idea (n. 4733, 5110, 5663,
     7211, 9356, 10067, 10267).

     Therefore the Divine is worshiped under a human form by
     most of the inhabitants of the entire globe, and this is
     the effect of influx from heaven (n. 10159).

All who are in good in regard to their life, when they think of the Lord, think of the Divine Human, and not of the Human separate from the Divine; it is otherwise with those who are not in good in regard to their life (n. 2326, 4724, 4731, 4766, 8878, 9193, 9198).
In the church at this day those that are in evil in regard to their life, and those that are in faith separate from charity, think of the Human of the Lord apart from the Divine, and do not even comprehend what the Divine Human is,-why they do not (n. 3212, 3241, 4689, 4692, 4724, 4731, 5321, 6872, 8878, 9193, 9198).
The Lord’s Human is Divine because it is from the Being [Esse] of the Father, and this was His soul,—­illustrated by a father’s likeness in children (n. 10269, 10372, 10823).

     Also because it was from the Divine love, which was the
     very Being [Esse] of His life from conception (n. 6872).

Every man is such as his love is, and is his love (n. 6872, 10177, 10284).  The Lord made all His Human, both internal and external, Divine (n. 1603, 1815, 1902, 1926, 2083, 2093).

     Therefore, differently from any man, He rose again as to
     His whole body (n. 1729, 2083, 5078, 10825).

     [9] That the Lord’s Human is Divine is acknowledged from
     His omnipresence in the Holy Supper (n. 2343, 2359).

     Also from His transfiguration before His three disciples
     (n. 3212).

Also from the Word of the Old Testament, in that He is called God (n. 10154); and is called Jehovah (n. 1603, 1736, 1815, 1902, 2921, 3035, 5110, 6281, 6303, 8864, 9194, 9315).
In the sense of the letter a distinction is made between the Father and the Son, that is, between Jehovah and the Lord, but not in the internal sense of the Word, in which the angels of heaven are (n. 3035).
In the Christian world the Lord’s Human has been declared not to be Divine; this
