Jehovah caused to rain

  

In Genesis 19:24, it appears in the sense of the letter, as if there were two Jehovahs: one on earth, and one in heaven. When Jehovah is first named it refers to the Lord's divine human, and the second time the essential divine or the father.

166. People believe that when our sins are forgiven they are washed away or rinsed off the way dirt is rinsed off with water. However, our sins are not washed away; they are just put aside. That is, we are held back from doing them when we are kept focused by the Lord on doing what is good; and when we are focused on doing good it seems as though our sins are gone and therefore as though they have been washed away. Further, the more we have been reformed, the more capable we are of focusing on doing what is good; how we are reformed will be explained in the treatment of regeneration that follows [§§173-186]. If we think that our sins are forgiven in any other way, we are sadly mistaken.
