6276. 'And said, The God before whom my fathers walked, Abraham and Isaac' means the Divine from whom internal good and internal truth possessed their life. This is clear from the meaning of 'the God' as the Divine; from the meaning of 'walking' as living or having life, dealt with in 519, 1794; and from the representation of 'Abraham' in the highest sense as the Lord's Divine itself, and of 'Isaac' as His Divine Rational, thus His Internal Human since 'Jacob' is the Lord's Divine Natural or His External Human, all three of which are dealt with in 2011, 3245, 3305 (end), 3439, 4615. But in the representative sense 'Abraham' is internal good and 'Isaac' internal truth, 3703, 6098, 6185. The reason 'Abraham' and 'Isaac' have these meanings in the representative sense is that the actual goodness and truth which are present in the Lord's kingdom come forth from His Divine and His Divine Human. These are what cause the Lord Himself to be present there, so that He Himself is His kingdom.
