AC 5331 - Pharaoh Changes Joseph's Name

AC 5331

And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-paneah.
(Genesis 41:45)

That this signifies the quality of
the celestial of the spiritual at that time,
is evident from the signification of a "name"
and of "calling a name," as being the quality.
In its original language "Zaphenath-paneah" means
"a revealer of hidden things
and an opener of things to come,"
by which in the celestial sense is meant the Divine therein;
for to reveal hidden things,
and to open things to come,
is of God alone.
This is the quality this name involves,
and it is also the quality of the celestial of the spiritual;
for the celestial of the spiritual
is the good of truth in which is the Divine,
or which is immediately from the Divine.
This, namely
the celestial of the spiritual in which is the Divine,
belonged to the Lord alone when He was in the world,
and was the Human in which the Divine Itself could be,
and which could be put off
when the Lord made all the Human in Himself Divine.
