Really good song and about a great man. Its incredible how Therion are able to invoke the right feeling in all their songs about old times and people.
dont get me wrong one of my fav bands for years but did rob metallica a little bit hard here if your not aware listen to my friend misery off of black album and lil part of one off of and justice for all but amazing band song and cant wait for new stuff seen em live once in the states wish i can see them in there homeland bet they put on amazing show
A metal song about a Swedish mystic? Far out, man. I just uploaded a video based on some of Swedenborg's visions, check out my channel if you get a minute!
In short, yes, Swedenborg was very much a Christian who believed in salvation through Christ. But exactly what it means even just to be saved is a complicated debate that's been going on forever, so don't assume anything. Swedenborg in particular has a lot of interesting ideas you won't find in what one would traditionally consider Christianity. Did you know he believed in extraterrestrial aliens, for example? You can find some of his works online, or buy them. Find out on your own!
according to swedenborg he received messages from god when he was asleep and the consequences of his out spoken mind resulted in him having to flee sweden cause though what he said he got considered a liar and a heretic, it was through our king he was pardoned and could move back to sweden and when he did, he picked up where he left, to serve the king
This song rocks :D! Love Therion so daaaamn much <3.

That is because Therion is a Magickal band, they can infuse the "Other side" into whatever songs they write :)

@FedskaTheOne Please, PLEASE do me a favour and don't "mix" sweet THERION with the crispy METALLICA !!!

@NeneaSniper He's right, though. The instrumentals in the intro sounds pretty much identical to Metallica's My Friend of Misery.
This is of course the better song.

this is great! I'm in process of writing a progressive song about swedenborg at the moment, nice reference for my research :)

Swedenborg is the word of god.
only purchase books from pre-WWII.
Ignore comments that refer to swedenborg the man and his beliefs.
swedenborg was simply dictating, his own beliefs are not relevant.

@rsjaa this song is about the man Emanuel Swedenborg and his visions or whatever you wanna call it

This is a false statement, swedenborg clearly states he was allowed to communicate with man and spirit at the same time.

I'm new to this stuff, I've been searching for someone to tell me was Swedenborg a Christian? did he believe in redemption?
Opium1958 2 years ago
Don't listen to these people. They are not authoratative.
If you are searching then read the word,genesis 1-9 over and over.
admit that you dont understand a single word of it.
ask Chirst personally for an answer.
Who swedenborg was does not matter.
where his writings came from and why, does.
The apocalypse was in 1757.
it is the 4th such apocalypse.
genesis refers to, when man became a kiving soul, exactly 6253 years ago.
