.
Because the prophets saw in this way they were called "seers," and
were said "to have their eyes opened" (1 Sam. 9:8; Num. 24:3); and
enabling them to see thus was called "opening their eyes," as with
Elisha's servant, of whom we read:

Elisha prayed and said, Jehovah, I pray Thee open his eyes
that he may see; and Jehovah opened the eyes of the young
man and he saw, and behold the mountain was full of horses
and chariots of fire round about Elisha (2 Kings 6:17).

{Footnote 1} In respect to his interiors man is a spirit (n.
1594). And that spirit is the man himself, and it is from that
spirit that the body lived (n. 447, 4622, 6054).

77. Good spirits, with whom I have spoken about this matter, have
been deeply grieved at such ignorance in the church about the
condition of heaven and of spirits and angels; and in their
displeasure they charged me to declare positively that they are not
formless minds nor ethereal breaths, but are men in very form, and
see, hear, and feel equally with those who are in this world.{1}

{Footnote 1} Inasmuch as each angel is a recipient of Divine
order from the Lord, he is in a human form, perfect and
beautiful in the measure of his reception (n. 322, 1880, 1881,
3633, 3804, 4622, 4735, 4797, 4985, 5199, 5530, 6054, 9879,
10177, 10594). It is by means of Divine truth that order
exists; and Divine good is the essential of order (n. 2451,
3166, 4390, 4409, 5232, 7256, 10122, 10555).

78. XI. IT IS FROM THE LORD'S DIVINE HUMAN THAT HEAVEN AS A WHOLE AND
IN PART REFLECTS MAN.

That it is from the Lord's Divine Human that heaven as a whole and in
part reflects man, follows as a conclusion from all that has been
stated and shown in the preceding chapters, namely: (i) That the God
of heaven is the Lord. (ii) It is the Divine of the Lord that makes
heaven. (iii) Heaven consists of innumerable societies; and each
society is a heaven in a smaller form, and each angel in the smallest
form. (iv) All heaven in the aggregate reflects a single man. (v)
Each society in the heavens reflects a single man. (vi) Therefore
every angel is in a complete human form. All this leads to the
conclusion that as it is the Divine that makes heaven, heaven must be
human in form. That this Divine is the Lord's Divine Human can be
seen still more clearly, because in a compendium, in what has been
collected, brought together and collated from the Arcana Coelestia
and
