10359. 'That you may know that I Jehovah am sanctifying you' means the Lord's Divine Human, which all things of heaven and the Church look to as their one and only Source. This is clear from the meaning of 'what is holy' as that which is Divine within heaven and within the Church, for that alone is holy; and what is Divine within heaven and the Church emanates from the Lord's Divine Human, so that it is the Lord's Divine Human that alone is holy and consequently that sanctifies. From this it is evident that the Lord's Divine Human is what all things of heaven and the Church look to as their one and only Source. For heaven is heaven not by virtue of what is the angels' own but by virtue of what is Divine and the Lord's with them; and the like applies to the Church among people on earth. It says, 'I Jehovah am sanctifying you', and 'Jehovah' is used to mean the Lord. But since all these matters have often been dealt with before, see what has been stated and shown about them there,
The Lord alone is holy and all holiness emanates from Him, 9229, 9680, 9820. Sanctification is the reception of what is Divine and the Lord's, 9820, 10128, 10276. Angels acknowledge nothing else Divine except the Lord's Divine Human, 10159, 10267. Thus the Lord's Divine Human constitutes heaven and the Church, because He dwells in what is His own there and not in what is others', 10125, 10151, 10157. Jehovah in the Word is the Lord, see in the places referred to in 9373.
