167. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 44

1-3 Every good of the church and of worship is from the Lord. (12)

4-8 The Jewish nation destroyed the church. (12)

9-14 That nation will [not] be in that church, (12)

15-31 but others, of whom the new church will consist, which will acknowledge the Lord; concerning which, and its life, doctrine, worship, and ministry. (12)

The Lord, in the simplest terms, is love itself expressed as wisdom itself. In philosophic terms, love is the Lord's substance and wisdom is His form. Of course, we feel the Lord's love and hear His wisdom in many different ways, depending on our state in life and how receptive we are. That's why the Lord has so many different names in the Bible, and is referred to in so many different ways.
