DP 262, 264 - the protection of the Lord's Divine providence

DP 262
In the spiritual world,
where everyone is constrained to speak as he thinks,
no one can even utter the name Jesus
unless he lived as a Christian in the world.
This, too, is of the Lord's Divine providence,
to keep His name from being profaned.

DP 264
. . . the spiritual meaning of the Word was not revealed before,
because if it had been,
the church would have profaned it,
and profaned thereby the very sanctity of the Word.
