"That the Providence of the Lord is infinite, and looks to what is eternal, is evident from the formation of the embryo in the womb. Lineaments of things to come are there continually projected, so that one thing is always a plane for another, and this without any error, until the embryo is formed. And also afterwards when it is born, one thing is prepared in succession to another and for another, that the perfect man may come forth….If the least particulars are thus provided during man's conception, birth, and growth, why not in respect to his spiritual life?" Emanuel Swedenborg
