The Nunc Licet number in True Christian Religion concludes with an angel
from the third heaven handing Swedenborg a piece of paper on which was
written (“in rounded letters, such as they have in that heaven”) this invitation:
“Enter hereafter into the mysteries of the Word, which has been heretofore
shut up, for the particular truths therein are so many mirrors of the Lord.” (#
508)
When the Lord is seen there, in those Divinely polished mirrors of
revelation, He will also appear more and more in the various facts of nature
disclosed in such abundance by modern science – for nature also, like the
Divine Word that gave it form, reflects the beauty of the Lord.
Then . . . “the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters
cover the sea.” (Isaiah 11:9)
Truly, our cup runneth over!
(WEO)
