First begotten
First begotten from the dead, as in Revelation 1:5, signifies truth in act and operation, which is the good of life, and which is the primary of the church. It also signifies the Lord with respect to his humanity because he is divine truth itself united to divine good, from whom all men, who in themselves are dead, but with the Lord are made alive.
