AC 7573 - "the voice of Jehovah"

AC 7573 [5-6]
... "the voice of Jehovah" denotes truth Divine and its power,
thus also the Word, because this is truth Divine

A strong angel coming down cried with a great voice,
and when he cried the seven thunders uttered their voices.
I was about to write,
but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me,
Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered,
and write them not.
(Revelation 5:1,3,4)

"voices" denote truth Divine;
"thunders," those who carry it and bring it from heaven to earth.
Every one can see that by "thunders" and "voices" are signified Divine things,
and are called "the voices of Jehovah,"
it is evident that they denote Divine truth.
It was for this reason that when Jehovah
descended upon Mount Sinai and promulgated Divine truth,
there were voices, lightnings, and thunders (Exodus 19:16: 220:18)
