303. While the Lord was in the world, His Human was the Divine Truth. While the Lord was in the world, from the Divine Good which was in Him, He made His Human the Divine Truth, nos. 2803, 3194, 3195, 3210, 6716, 6864, 7014, 7499, 8127, 8724, 9199. The Lord then arranged all things in Himself into the heavenly form, which is according to the Divine Truth, nos. 1928, 3633. Heaven, consequently, was then in the Lord, and the Lord was as heaven, nos. 911, 1900, 1928, 3624-3631, 3634, 3884, 4041, 4279, 4523-4525, 6013, 6057, 6690, 9279, 9632, 9931, 10303. The Lord spoke from the very Divine Truth, no. 8127. Wherefore the Lord spoke in the Word by correspondences, nos. 3131, 3472-3485, 8615, 10687. For this reason the Lord is the Word, and is called the Word, which is the Divine Truth, nos. 2533, 2813, 2859, 2894, 3393, 3712. The Son of Man, in the Word, signifies the Divine Truth, and the Father the Divine Good, nos. 2803, 3704, 7499, 8724, 9194. Since the Lord was Divine Truth, He was Divine Wisdom, nos. 2500, 2572. The Lord alone had perception and thought from Himself, beyond all angelic perception and thought, nos. 1904, 1914, 1919. The Divine Truth could be tempted, but not the Divine Good, no. 2814.
