Doc. 302.] ADDITIONS TO UNIVERSAL THEOLOGY. 771
are not in God ; they are snatched away as it were from the
surface ; they gyrate in a circle, and are desirous of becom
ing gods.
The essence of God is love and wisdom, and through both
of them are omnipotence and omnipresence. He is like the
sun of this world, through which He created the natural uni
verse, in which we are and live as to our body; the essence
of which is heat and light; and by these two its power and
its presence are caused.
God is the sun of the created universe ; the heat that pro
ceeds from Him is love, and the light wisdom.
Immensity without space, and eternity without time are
especially His Being.

CONCERNING REDEMPTION.*
The Lord sustained the passion of the cross as the greatest
prophet, that He might bear the iniquity of the people. Like
the prophets, concerning whom see [ T. C. R. 126].
All his suffering signified how the Jews had vilified and per
verted the Word.
The passion of the cross, also, was the last temptation, by
which He glorified His humanity.
Redemption did not consist in that passion, but in the
subjugation of the hells, and the orderly arrangement of every
thing there and in heaven.
(The Redemption will be treated of in its own memorable
relation hereafter.)
L.
CONCERNING THE LORD.†
In Christ Man is God, and God Man.
The Father Himself is one.
He who has seen the Son has seen the Father; He is in
the Father, and the Father in Him.
