9
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
Revelation 6:9
Arcana Coelestia #2003
2003. 'As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you' means union of the Divine Essence with the Human Essence. This is clear from the meaning of 'a covenant' as conjunction, dealt with in 665, 666, 1023, 1038. Here it is the union of the Divine Essence with the Human Essence, as is evident from this meaning and from the internal sense of what has gone before, and so from the actual words 'My covenant is with you'.
