Unto God and His Father,
signifies by Divine truth and Divine Good.
This is evident from this,
that "God" is the Divine truth,
and "Jehovah" is the Divine good;
therefore in the Word
the Lord is called "God" when Divine truth is treated of,
and "Jehovah" when Divine good is treated of . . .
here it is said "Father" instead of Jehovah,
because the Father of the Lord was Jehovah,
and by "Father" the like is meant as by "Jehovah."
By both "God" and "the Father" the Lord alone is meant;
for the Father was in Him as the soul is in its body . . ..
This was why He said:
But if I do it, even though you do not believe me,
believe the miracles,
that you may know and understand
that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.
(John 10:38; 14:10, 11)
Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me?
The words I say to you are not just my own.
Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing His work.
Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. . .
(John 14:10, 11)
(John 10:30)
But a time is coming, and has come,
when you will be scattered, each to his own home.
You will leave me all alone.
Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.
(John 16:32)
