8309. Thou hast conducted them in Thy strength to the habitation of Thy holiness. That this signifies that the Divine power of the Lord raised them to heaven into the Divine there, is evident from the signification of “to conduct in strength,” when said of elevation into heaven by the Lord, as being to raise by virtue of Divine power (that “strength” denotes power, is evident); and from the signification of “the habitation of holiness,” as being heaven where the Divine is; for “holiness” is predicated of the Divine truth which proceeds from the the Lord, (n. 8302), and this Divine truth makes heaven.

[2] That “the habitation of Jehovah,” or of the Lord, denotes heaven, and also good-because in good there is heaven-is evident from the following passages:

Look Thou from the habitation of Thy holiness out of heaven, and bless Thy people Israel (Deuteronomy 26:15).

Look Thou forth from heaven, and see, from the habitation of Thy holiness and of Thy comeliness (Isaiah 63:15).

Shall I give sleep to mine eyes, until I find a place for Jehovah, habitations for the Strong One of Jacob? Lo, we heard of Him in Ephratah, we found Him in the fields of the forest, we will enter into His habitations (Psalms 132:4-7).

[3] That the habitation of Jehovah, that is, of the Lord, is in good, is evident in these passages:

Shout for joy, and be glad, O daughter of Zion; lo, I come, that I may dwell in the midst of thee. Many nations shall cleave to Jehovah in that day, and they shall be to Me for a people; for I will dwell in thee (Zech. 2:10-11).

I will set My sanctuary in the midst of them eternally, thus My habitation shall be with them (Ezekiel 37:20, 27);

“the sanctuary” denotes where is Divine truth in which is Divine good.
