3192. 'And the servant took Rebekah and went' means that natural Divine Good did the introducing. This is clear from the meaning of 'the servant' as natural Divine Good, as above in 3184, and from the meaning of 'taking Rebekah and going' as introducing, that is to say, bringing to 'Isaac', who is the Divine Good in the Rational, as becomes clear without further explanation. The implications of this are that truth from the natural could not be raised up to good in the rational except by means of natural Divine Truth and natural Divine Good. Natural Divine Truth, which is called 'the man', was to point the way and lead; natural Divine Good, which is referred to as 'the servant', was to bring truth from the natural and introduce it to the good in the rational. To use a comparison, they are like two wings which raise up the possessor of them. These matters cannot be explained any more fully or intelligibly here. One must first know what natural Divine Truth is, and what natural Divine Good is; and these are referred to later on in the internal sense where Joseph is the subject.

Title: The Loving Jehovah and the Angry Jesus

Topic: Word/Trinity

Summary: We examined the longstanding Christian myth that Jehovah is angry and judgmental but Jesus is loving, meek, and mild. Actually Jehovah is loving and Jesus does plenty of rebuking and name-calling. The ultimate conclusion is that Jesus and Jehovah are One, and God is love, not anger.
