Doc. of Sacred Scripture (Dick) n. 88

88. On account of the marriage of the Lord with the Church, or what is the same, the marriage of Divine Good and Divine Truth, in every part of the Word, Jehovah and God, and also Jehovah and the Holy One of Israel, so frequently occur, as if they were two, when yet they are one. For by Jehovah is meant the Lord as to Divine Good, and by God the Lord as to Divine Truth. Although Jehovah and God, and Jehovah and the Holy One of Israel, are spoken of in many passages in the Word, still one only is meant, and He is the Lord, as may be seen in THE DOCTRINE CONCERNING THE LORD, Nos. 34, 38 and 46.
