Revelation 19:11-14

Estude

      

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

3237. 'And her name was Keturah' means the essence of this Divine Truth. This is clear from the meaning of the word 'name' as the essential nature, and of 'calling by name' as knowing the essential nature, dealt with in 144, 145, 1754, 1896, 2009. Now because one does not speak of the nature of what is Divine but of the Esse of this, 'name' here means the essence, indeed the essence of Divine Truth - Divine Truth being meant here by 'the wife', to whom 'her' refers. For here 'the wife' means Divine Truth, see just above in 3236. From this it is evident what 'Keturah' in general embodies.
