Word

  

'Word,' as in Isaiah 9:8, signifies the doctrine of internal and external worship. 'Word,' as in Psalms 119:6-17, stands for doctrine in general.

'The Word,' as in Psalms 147:18, signifies divine good united with divine truth.

The whole Word is nothing but the doctrine of love towards the Lord, and love towards our neighbor, as in Matthew 22.

638. 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. This symbolically means that by temptations or trials induced by vexations, a person belonging to the Lord's church is explored as to his character in respect to his life in accordance with the Word's commandments and to his faith in the Lord.

That this is the symbolic meaning of these words may be seen in no. 593 above. To keep the commandments means, symbolically, to live in accordance with the Word's commandments, which are contained in summary form in the Ten Commandments. And the faith of Jesus symbolizes faith in Him, as people [who live in accordance with the Word's commandments] have their faith from Him, the faith that is the faith of Jesus.
