AE 131, 135 - He came.

AE 131 [2]
. . . "sword" in the Word signifies truth combating against falsity,
and falsity against truth,
and therefore the dispersion of falsities,
and also spiritual temptation. . .

Jesus said that He came not to send peace on earth,
but a sword.
(Matthew 10:34)

Here by "sword" is meant the combat of temptation.
It was so said, because people at that time were in falsities,
and the Lord uncovered interior truths,
and only by combats from such truths
can falsities be cast out.

AE 135
By the Lord's "name" in the Word
is meant primarily the acknowledgment of the Divine in His Human,
because all things of love and faith are from that;
for Divine goods which are of love,
and Divine truths which are of faith,
proceed from no other source than from the Lord alone;
and these cannot flow in with a person
unless he thinks of the Lord's Divine
at the same time that he thinks of His Human . . .
