Arcana Coelestia # 7727
7727. 'And we must make them to Jehovah our God' means which - namely worship - is acceptable to the Lord. This is clear from what comes before; that is to say, 'sacrifices and burnt offerings' means worship, 7726, and 'flocks and herds', from which the sacrifices were taken, means the good from which the offering of worship is made, 7723, 7724, so that 'making sacrifices and burnt offerings to Jehovah' means an offering of worship from good which is acceptable - 'Jehovah' in the Word being the Lord, see 1343, 1736, 2921, 3023, 3035, 5041, 5663, 6280, 6281, 6307, 6905, 6945, 6956.
Isaiah 9:7-8
7
Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on the throne of David, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of Yahweh of Armies will perform this.
