Head

The head is the part of us that is highest, which means in a representative sense that it is what is closest to the Lord. Because of this the head represents what is inmost in us, the thing at the center of our being. In most cases this means intelligence and wisdom, since most of us are in a state of life in which we are led by our thoughts and reason. In the case of the Lord, however, it often represents His perfect love. And in many cases the head is used to represent the whole person.

7867. 'It is a Passover to Jehovah' means the Lord's presence, and deliverance by Him. This is clear from the things which have been stated up to this point, in particular regarding the deliverance of those belonging to the spiritual Church by the Lord's Coming, 6854, 6914, 7035, 7091 (end), 7828. Regarding 'Jehovah' in the Word, that He is the Lord, see 1343, 1736, 2921, 3023, 3035, 5041, 5667, 6281, 6303, 6905.
