3038. 'To your seed I will give this land' means the Divine Truth which belonged to the Lord's Human. This is clear from the meaning of 'seed' as the faith that is an expression of charity, and also those in whom such faith is present, dealt with in 1025, 1447, 1610, 2848 (and since all good and truth of faith are received from the Lord, it is Divine Truth itself that is meant in the highest sense by 'seed'); and from the meaning of 'this land', namely Canaan, as heaven or the Lord's kingdom, dealt with in 1413, 1437, 1607. And as heaven or the Lord's kingdom is meant, it is the Lord's Divine Human itself that 'the land of Canaan' is used to mean in the highest sense. For the Divine itself cannot flow into heaven except through the Lord's Divine Human, which the Lord also made plain in Matthew,

All things have been delivered to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, nor does anyone know the Father except the Son and he to whom the Son wishes to reveal Him. Matthew 11:27.

And in John,

Nobody has ever seen God; the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, He has made Him known. John 1:18.

'The Son' is the Lord's Divine Human. Anyone who believes that in heaven they worship any other Father than the Lord is much mistaken.

4108. 'To come to Isaac his father, to the land of Canaan' means so as to be joined to the Divine Good of the Rational, in order that the Human might be made Divine. This is clear from the representation of 'Isaac' as the Divine Rational, dealt with in 1893, 2066, 2083, 2630, and specifically as the Divine Good of the Rational, 3012, 3194, 3210; and from the meaning of 'the land of Canaan' as the Lord's heavenly kingdom, dealt with in 1607, 3481, and in the highest sense - that is, when the subject is the Lord - as His Divine Human, 3038, 3705. From these meanings it is evident that 'to come to Isaac his father, to the land of Canaan' means so as to be joined to the Divine Good of the Rational, in order that the Human might be made Divine.

[2] As regards the joining together of the rational and the natural in man's case, it should be realized that the rational constitutes the internal man and the natural the external man, and that the joining together of these produces the human. The nature of that human is determined by that of the joining together of the two; and they exist joined together when they act as one. And they act as one when the natural acts as the servant and is subservient to the rational. With man this is not possible unless it is done by the Lord, but with the Lord He did it by Himself.
