AC 7401 - there is none like Jehovah God

AC 7401
In the Word it is sometimes said
that "there is none like Jehovah God,"
and also that "there is no God like Him."
It was so said in the Word,
because at that time in the land where the church was,
as also in the lands where the church was not,
they worshiped many gods,
and everyone preferred his own god to the god of another.
They distinguished these gods by names,
and the God of the Israelites and Jews
by the name "Jehovah."
The Jews and Israelites themselves also believed
that there were many gods,
but that Jehovah was greater than the rest
on account of the miracles;
and therefore when the miracles ceased,
they at once fell away into the worship of other gods,
as is apparent from the historical parts of the Word.
That there is one God and none besides Him,
they indeed said with the mouth,
but did not believe with the heart.
