AC 7499 - He Made His Human Divine Good

AC 7499

In the Word the Lord is called "Jehovah" as to Divine good,
for Divine good is the Divine Itself;
and the Lord is called the "Son of God" as to Divine truth,
for Divine truth proceeds from the Divine good
as a son from a father,
and also is said to be "born:"
how this is shall be further told.
When the Lord was in the world
He made His Human Divine truth,
and then called the Divine good
which is Jehovah, His "Father;"
because, as just said,
Divine truth proceeds and is born from Divine good.
But after the Lord had fully glorified Himself,
which was done
when He endured the last of temptation on the cross,
He then made His Human also Divine good,
that is, Jehovah;
and thereby the Divine truth itself
proceeded from His Divine Human.
The Divine truth is what is called the "Holy Spirit,"
and is the holy which proceeds from the Divine Human.
From this is evident
what is meant by the Lord's words in John:

The Holy Spirit was not yet,
because Jesus was not yet glorified.
(John 7:39)
