The Bible refers to the Lord in many different ways seemingly interchangeably. Understood in the internal sense, though, there are important differences. To some degree, the meanings all start with "Jehovah," which is the Lord's actual name. It represents the perfect, eternal, infinite love which is the Lord's actual essence. As such it also represents the good will that flows from the Lord to us and His desire for us to be good. "God," meanwhile, represents the wisdom of the Lord and the true knowledge and understanding He offers to us. The term "the Lord" is very close in meaning to "Jehovah," and in many cases is interchangeable (indeed, translators have a tendency to go back and forth). When the two are used together, though, "the Lord" refers to the power of the Lord's goodness, the force it brings, whereas "Jehovah" represents the goodness itself. In the New Testament, the name "Jehovah" is never used; the term "the Lord" replaces it completely. There are two reasons for that. First, the Jews of the day considered the name "Jehovah" too holy to speak or write. Second, they would not have been able to grasp the idea that the Lord -- who was among them in human form at the time -- was in fact Jehovah Himself. This does ultimately lead to a difference in the two terms by the end of the Bible. Thought of as "Jehovah," the Lord is the ultimate human form and has the potential for assuming a physical human body; thought of as "the Lord" He actually has that human body, rendered divine by the events of his physical life.

3911. 'Who is withholding from you the fruit of the womb' means that it had to originate in what was internal. This is clear from the meaning that results from the internal sense of these words. 'The fruit of the womb' is similar in meaning in the internal sense to birth, namely the acknowledgement of truth and good in faith and action, 3905. Indeed it means more than this, namely the joining together of truth and good as a result of that acknowledgement. Such acknowledgement and joining together cannot begin in the external man, only in the internal; for all good flows in from the Lord by way of the internal man into the external and adopts the truths which have been introduced through the sensory experiences of the external man, causing the person to acknowledge them in faith and action and causing them to be joined together and so made the person's own. The truth that all good from the Lord flows in by way of the internal man into the truths gathered together in the memory belonging to the external man has been shown many times already. This is what these words mean when explained - that it had to originate in what was internal.
