AC 10253, 10258 - when the Lord was in the world

AC 10253 [4]
The Lord . . . spoke from the Divine,
thus by means of significatives
according to correspondences . . ..

AC 10258 [3-4]
     God, thy God, has anointed you,
all thy garments with the oil of gladness,
with myrrh, aloes, and kesia.

(Psalm 45:8, 9)

The subject treated of in this whole Psalm is the Lord,
and indeed the glorification of His Human . . ..
That garments are not meant, is plain,
nor myrrh, aloes, and kesia with which they were anointed;
but Divine truths from Divine good,
which the Lord put on in respect to His Human.
For anointing was nothing else than a representative
of the Divine good in the Lord's Divine Human;
so by "myrrh, aloes, and kesia"
are signified Divine truths in their order
proceeding from the Divine good which was in Him.
So by "garments" is signified His Divine Human;
for whether you say
"the Divine Human of the Lord," or "the Divine truth,"
it is the same,
because when the Lord was in the world
He was the Divine truth itself;
and when He went out of the world,
He made Himself the Divine good,
from which is the Divine truth.
. . . ("garments" signify the truths which clothe good. . .)
