AC 3023
. . . "Jehovah the God of heaven,"
being said of the Lord,
denotes
Jehovah Himself who is called the Father,
from whom He was
conceived,
thus who was His Divine Essence;
for the conception
itself
gave the veriest essence from which He was.
"Jehovah the God
of the earth"
in this case means Jehovah who is called the Son,
thus
His Human essence;
this came forth from the Divine essence
when the
Lord made it also Divine.
Thus by "Jehovah the God of heaven"
is
signified the Divine that is in the highest;
and by "Jehovah the God
of the earth"
is signified the Divine
that is in that which is
therefrom.
But the Lord is called "Jehovah the God of heaven"
from
His Divine that is in the heavens;
and He is called the "God of the
earth"
from His Divine that is on earth.
The Divine in the heavens
is also that
which is with man in his internals;
but the Divine on
earth is that
which is in his externals;
for the internals of man
are his heaven,
because by them he is conjoined with the angels;
but
his externals are his earth,
for by them he is conjoined with men.
