DLORD 46
the Holy Spirit . . .
is the Lord's presence with a person through angels and spirits,
by and according to which
the person is enlightened and taught.
DLORD 50
Jesus cried, saying,
if anyone thirst
let him come unto Me and drink;
he that believes in Me,
as the Scripture has said,
out of his belly shall flow streams of living water.
This He said of the spirit
which they that believe in Him should receive.
For the Holy Spirit was not yet,
because Jesus was not yet glorified.
(John 7:37-39)
Jesus breathed on His disciples, and said,
Receive ye the Holy Spirit.
(John 20:22)
[3] As the "Spirit of Truth" or "Holy Spirit" is the same as the Lord,
who is the Truth itself, it is said,
"the Holy Spirit was not yet,
because Jesus was not yet glorified"
(John 7:39);
for after His glorification or complete unition with the Father,
which was effected by the passion of the cross,
the Lord was Divine wisdom and Divine truth itself,
thus the Holy Spirit.
The reason why the Lord breathed on the disciples and said,
"Receive ye the Holy Spirit,"
was that all the breathing of heaven is from the Lord.
For angels as well as people have breathing and beating of the heart;
their breathing
being according to their reception of wisdom from the Lord,
and their beating of the heart or pulse
being according to their reception of Divine love from the Lord.
