It has been years since I have read any Swedenborg, but it is a very elaborate theosophical system, definitely on the giggles side. Nice man, though.......

In his massive exegetical and theological volumes, Swedenborg attempted to interpret the Scriptures in the light of the "correspondence" between the spiritual and the material planes. He viewed references in the Bible to mundane historical matters as symbolically communicated spiritual truths, the key to which he tried to find through detailed and voluminous commentaries and interpretations. Swedenborg died in London in 1772, where he was buried in the Swedish Church. At the request of the Swedish government, his body was removed to Uppsala cathedral in 1908. It was the convoluted attempt find spiritual correspondences that made for the giggle factor, especially in reference to Revelations........ britannica.com
