THE LORD’S SOUL WAS JEHOVAH

THE LORD’S SOUL WAS JEHOVAH
ARCANA COELESTIA 2025 [4 & 5]

[4] The reason why the Lord so often attributes to the Father
that which is His own
(is because) Jehovah was in Him,
and consequently in everything that was His.

[5] From good, which is Jehovah's,
He united the Divine Essence to the Human Essence;
and from truth He united the Human Essence to the Divine Essence;
thus He did all things both in general and in particular from Himself;
in fact His Human was left to itself,
in order that He might fight of Himself against all the hells,
and overcome them;
and as He had life in Himself that was His own - as already said -
He overcame them by His own power and by His own forces,
as is also clearly stated in the Prophets,
in the passages that have been cited.
Consequently, as He acquired all things for Himself
by His own forces,
He became righteousness,
emancipated the world of spirits from infernal genii and spirits,
and thereby delivered the human race from destruction -
for the human race is ruled by means of spirits - and so redeemed it.
For this reason He is so often called
in the Word of the Old Testament
the Deliverer and the Redeemer, and the Saviour,
which is the meaning of His name Jesus.
