AR 830 - "King of kings and Lord of lords" (Revelation 19:16)

AR 830 [2]

Because the Lord is called 
King of kings and Lord of lords, 
and this means the Lord 
in respect to both Divine truth and Divine good, 
therefore the name is said to have been written 
on His garment and on His thigh; 
and the name written on His garment 
symbolizes the Word in respect to Divine truth, 
while the name written on His thigh 
symbolizes the Word in respect to Divine goodness, 
both being contained in the Word. 
The Word's Divine truth is found in its spiritual sense, 
which is intended for 
angels of the intermediate or second heaven, 
who possess intelligence stemming from Divine truths; 
and the Word's Divine goodness 
is found in its celestial sense, 
which is intended for 
angels of the highest or third heaven, 
who possess wisdom stemming from Divine goods. 
But this latter sense is deeply hidden, 
being perceptible only to people 
who possess love toward the Lord from the Lord.
