Readings Matt. 28:6; AC 70; AE 659 When a person casts aside or puts off his material body, he then puts on a spiritual body, with which he rises again; consequently the death of a person, in the spiritual sense, signifies the continuation of his life. Since burial, in regard to man, signifies resurrection and regeneration, therefore burial, in regard to the Lord, signifies the glorification of His Human. For the Lord glorified, that is, made Divine, His whole Human. Therefore He rose again on the third day with the Human glorified, that is, made Divine. Unless this had been accomplished, no one could have risen again to life. For man has resurrection to life solely from the Lord, and indeed from the fact that He united the Divine with His Human. From this union, which is properly meant by glorification, every person has salvation. (Apocalypse Explained #659)
