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.
