Swedenborg, Emanuel, 1688-1772

"Heaven and its Wonders and Hell"

{2}
{Footnote 1} The hells taken together, or the infernals taken
together, are called the Devil and Satan (n. 694). Those that
have been devils in the world become devils after death (n.
968).
{Footnote 2} The doctrine of the church must be derived from
the Word (n. 3464, 5402, 6822, 6832, 10763, 10765). Without
doctrine the Word is not understood (n. 9025, 9409, 9424, 9430,
10324, 10431, 10582). True doctrine is a lamp to those who read
the Word (n. 10400). Genuine doctrine must be from those who
are enlightened by the Lord (n. 2510, 2516, 2519, 9424, 10105).
Those who are in the sense of the letter without doctrine come
into no understanding of Divine truths (n. 9409, 9410, 10582).
And they are led away into many errors (n. 10431). The
difference between those who teach and learn from the doctrine
of the church derived from the Word and those who teach and
learn from the sense of the letter alone (n. 9025).

312. The man of the church also derives this belief from his
believing that no man comes into heaven or into hell until the time
of the final judgment; and about that he has accepted the opinion
that all visible things will perish at that time and new things will
come into existence, and that the soul will then return into its
body, and from that union man will again live as a man.
