AC 9956 - Sanctifying - Representing Holiness Itself

AC 9956

And shalt sanctify them.
(Exodus 28:41)

That this means thus
a representative of the Lord as to the Divine Human,
is evident from the meaning of "sanctifying,"
as being to represent holiness itself,
which is the Lord as to the Divine Human,
for it is this alone which is holy,
and from which is all holiness
in the heavens and on earth.
Everyone is able to know
that the oil did not sanctify;
but that it induced a representative of holiness.
The case herein is this.
The Lord Himself is above the heavens,
for He is the Sun of the angelic heaven.
The Divine which consequently proceeds from Him
in the heavens is what is called "holy."
The Divine of the Lord above the heavens
could not be represented,
because it is infinite;
but only the Divine of the Lord in the heavens,
for this is accommodated to
the reception of the angels there, who are finite.
In their perception
this Divine is the Lord's Divine Human,
which alone is holy,
and which was represented.
