AC 4669 - Joseph

AC 4669
... the representation of Joseph,
as being in the supreme sense
the Lord as to the Divine spiritual.
... it is the Divine spiritual which proceeds from His Divine Human.
The Divine spiritual which proceeds from the Lord's Divine Human
is the Divine truth which is from Him in heaven and in the church.
The spiritual in its essence is nothing else.
The Divine spiritual, or Divine truth,
is also what is called the Lord's royalty,
and it is likewise signified by the Christ, or the Messiah.
For this reason Joseph was made as it were a king in Egypt,
that he might then represent what is of the Lord's royalty.
