AR 666
Since the Word is Divine truth,
and Divine truth enlightens spiritually,
therefore people say
that Jehovah dictated the Word
through the agency of the Holy Spirit,
and that the Holy Spirit
enlightens a person and instructs him.
But who does not know that God is omnipresent,
and that holiness emanates from Him
and enlightens wherever it is received?
Who, then, cannot but conclude
that the Holy Spirit is not God per se,
distinguishable from Jehovah or the Lord
as one person is from another,
but that it is Jehovah Himself or the Lord?
Anyone who acknowledges
the Divine omnipresence
must also acknowledge this.
AR 667
"Therefore all nations
shall come and worship before You."
(Revelation 15:4)
This symbolically means
that people who possess
the goodness of love and charity
will acknowledge the Lord alone to be God.
All nations symbolize people
who possess the goodness of love and charity.
. . . this is the meaning of nations
in a good sense . . ..
To come and worship before Him
means, symbolically,
to acknowledge the Lord as God,
and because there is only one God,
in whom is the Trinity,
and the Lord is that God,
it symbolically means
to acknowledge Him alone to be God.
