AC 5307 [2]
For the Lord is represented by Abraham, and also by Isaac, as well as by Jacob, and He is also represented by Moses and Elijah, by Aaron, by David, besides by many others in the Word, and yet not in the same way by one as by another.
By Abraham the Lord is represented as to the Divine Itself,
by Isaac as to the Divine rational,
by Jacob as to the Divine natural,
by Moses as to the law or historic Word,
by Elijah as to the prophetic Word,
by Aaron as to the priesthood,
and by David as to royalty.
But what is represented by Joseph...
is called "the celestial of the spiritual from the natural,"
the only worlds by which it can be expressed.
For the celestial is good from the Divine,
and the spiritual is truth from that good,
and thus is the truth of the good from His Divine Human.
This the Lord was when He lived in the world;
but when He had glorified Himself,
He passed above it, and became the Divine good itself
or Jehovah even as to the Human.
