2528. 'God said to him in the dream' means a perception that was less obscure. This is clear from what has been stated and explained above in 2514. The reason why in this chapter the name 'God' is used but not 'Jehovah', except in the last verse, is that spiritual matters, that is, matters of doctrine concerning faith, are the subject. For when spiritual matters are referred to, the name 'God' is used, but when celestial matters, that is, love and charity, are dealt with, the name Jehovah' is used, see 709, 732, 2001.

'Knowledge of the Lord' concerns the universal nature of all things of doctrinal teachings and therefore of all things of the church. All worship derives its life and soul from this knowledge, for the Lord is in heaven, the church, and in all of worship.
