8792. Jehovah will come down unto the eyes of all the people. That this signifies the coming of the Lord and enlightenment then, is evident from the signification of “coming down,” when it is said of Jehovah, that is, of the Lord, as being His presence by influx, thus His coming. This coming of the Lord is understood by “the coming down of Jehovah unto the eyes of all the people.” The appearing of Jehovah was in an outward shape before that people, who could not otherwise have perceived His presence; for their internal was devoid of good and truth, in which the Lord is present with others (n. 8787). The enlightening which then took place is signified by “unto the eyes of all the people,” for in the internal sense “the eye” denotes the understanding, and consequently “the sight” of the eye denotes the perception which is of faith, which perception is from the light of heaven; consequently “unto the eyes” denotes enlightenment. (That “the eye” denotes the understanding, and its “sight” the perception which is of faith, see n. 4403-4421, 4523-4534)
