AE 179
And I will give him the morning star,
(Revelation 2:28)
signifies intelligence and wisdom from the Lord's Divine Human.
This is evident from the signification of "stars,"
as being the knowledges of good and truth;
and as they signify the knowledges of good and truth,
they also signify intelligence and wisdom,
for all intelligence and wisdom come
by means of the knowledges of good and truth.
It is evident also from the signification of "morning"
as being the Lord in respect to His Divine Human,
therefore "the morning star"
means intelligence and wisdom from Him.
"Morning" is often mentioned in the Word,
and its signification varies
according to the connection in the internal sense;
in the highest sense it signifies the Lord, and also His coming;
in the internal sense it signifies His kingdom and church,
and their state of peace.
Moreover, it signifies the first state of a new church,
and also a state of love, and a state of illustration,
consequently a state of intelligence and wisdom,
and also a state of the conjunction of good and truth,
the state in which the internal man is conjoined to the external.
"Morning" has such various significations,
because in the highest sense it signifies the Lord's Divine Human;
it therefore also signifies all things that proceed from the Divine Human,
for the Lord is in those things that proceed from Him,
even so that it is He there.
