9689. And thou shalt make for the covering five pillars of shittim. That this signifies the support of the uniting intermediate, as far as is sufficient, through the good of merit that belongs to the Lord’s Divine Human, is evident from the signification of “the covering for the door of the Tent,” as being the intermediate that unites the second or middle heaven with the first or ultimate heaven (of which ab ove, n. 9686); from the signification of “five,” as being some part, or somewhat (n. 4638), and also as much as is sufficient; from the signification of “pillars,” as being support (n. 9674); and from the signification of “shittim wood,” as being the good of merit that belongs to the Lord alone (n. 9472, 9486), thus His Divine Human, because to this belongs merit (n. 9486).

3006. These are the things the angels perceive when “Jesus Christ” is named; and this is what is meant when it is said that there is salvation in no other name, as also by the Lord so often speaking of His “name.” As in John:

Whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, that will I do (John 14:13).

In the same:

These things are written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye may have life in His name (John 20:31); and in other places.

That the “name” is all in one complex by which the Lord is worshiped, and thus denotes the quality of all worship and doctrine, may be seen above (n. 2724); and therefore here it denotes the good of love and of charity conjoined with the truth of faith, which is the complex of all doctrine and of all worship.
