4568. 'And God said to him, Your name is Jacob' means the nature of the Lord's external Divine Natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'name' as the essential nature, dealt with in 144, 145, 1754, 1896, 2009, 2724, 3006, 3421, and from the representation of 'Jacob' as the Lord's Divine Natural, often dealt with already. The reason for calling it external is that 'Israel' is the Lord's Divine internal Natural, dealt with immediately below.

Revelation 3:4-5

Studie

      

4 Nevertheless you have a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments. They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

5 He who overcomes will be arrayed in white garments, and I will in no way blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
