9329. 'To whom you come' means because of the Lord's presence. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming to someone' as presence, as in 5934, 6063, 6089, 7498, 7631. The reason why the Lord's presence is meant is that the subject is the power of truth against evils and falsities, and all truth and its power emanate from the Lord. The children of Israel furthermore, to whom these words refer, mean truths that are received from the Lord, that is, spiritual truths, see 5414, 5879, 5951, 7957, 8234, 8805.
