Description
Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) was a Swedish pluralistic-Christian theologian, scientist, philosopher, and mystic, best known for his book on the afterlife, Heaven and Hell (1758). He had a prolific career as an inventor and scientist, and then in 1741, aged 53, entered into a spiritual phase when he began to experience visions. This culminated in a "spiritual awakening" in which he received a revelation that he was appointed by Jesus Christ to write The Heavenly Doctrine to reform Christianity. According to The Heavenly Doctrine (1758), the Lord had opened Swedenborg's spiritual eyes enabling him thenceforward to freely visit heaven and hell to converse with angels, demons and other spirits, and the Last Jusdgment had already occurred the year before, in 1757. Swedenborg believed that we leave the physical world once, but then experience several lives in the spiritual world. Over the last 18 years of his life he published 18 theological works and wrote several more. In Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell Swedenborg gives a detailed description of how people live after the death of the physical body and the book owes its popular appeal to that subject matter. According to Swedenborg angels in heaven do not have an ethereal or ephemeral existence, but enjoy an active life of service to others. They exercise God's power chiefly in defending people against hell, but have no power whatsoever of their own. Every angel - or devil - began life as an inhabitant of the human race, and after death in the physical world they migrate toward a heavenly or hellish state because they are drawn to its way of life.
