2 Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.

40. We can see that the Lord is called the Holy One of Israel from the following passages.

The angel said to Mary, “The Holy One that is born from you will be called the Son of God.” (Luke 1:35)

I saw in visions, and behold, a Watcher, a Holy One, coming down from heaven. (Daniel 4:13, 23)

God will come from Teman and the Holy One from Mount Paran. (Habakkuk 3:3)

[Thus says Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and Israel’s Maker.] (Isaiah 45:11)

Thus says Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, Israel’s Holy One. (Isaiah 49:7)

I am Jehovah your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. (Isaiah 43:1, 3)

As for our Redeemer, Jehovah Sabaoth is his name, the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 47:4)

Thus says Jehovah your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 43:14; 48:17)

Jehovah Sabaoth is his name, and your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 54:5)

They tested God and the Holy One of Israel. (Psalms 78:41)

They have abandoned Jehovah and have angered the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 1:4)

They said, “Make the Holy One of Israel cease from our presence.” Therefore thus said the Holy One of Israel... (Isaiah 30:11-12)

... those who say, “Let him hasten his work so that we may see; let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and arrive.” (Isaiah 5:19)

On that day they will rely on Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. (Isaiah 10:20)

Shout and rejoice, daughter of Zion, because the Holy One of Israel is great in your midst. (Isaiah 12:6)

The God of Israel has said, “On that day people will look back to their Maker, and their eyes will look toward the Holy One of Israel.” (Isaiah 17:7)

The meek will increase their joy in Jehovah, and the poor of the people will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 29:19; 41:16)

Nations will run to you because of Jehovah your God and because of the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 55:5)

The islands will trust in me to bring your children from afar for the name of Jehovah Sabaoth and the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 60:9)

Their land is full of sin against the Holy One of Israel. (Jeremiah 51:5)

There are many other instances elsewhere.

The Holy One of Israel means the Lord in his divine human nature, since the angel Gabriel said to Mary, “The Holy One that is born from you will be called the Son of God” (Luke 1:35). As for Jehovah and the Holy One of Israel being one and the same even though they are given different names, this is quite clear from the passages just cited where it says that Jehovah is the Holy One of Israel.

A Brief Exposition of New Church Doctrine # 93

93. I have sometimes conversed in the spiritual world with those who justify men by faith alone, and I have said that their doctrine is erroneous, and also incongruous; that it leads to unconcern, blindness, sleep, and night in spiritual things, and thereby to the death of the soul; and I have exhorted them to abandon that doctrine. But the answer I received was: Why should we abandon it? Does not the superiority of the learning of the clergy in the sight of the laity depend upon this doctrine? But I replied that in that case they do not regard the salvation of souls, but their own eminence; and that, as they have applied the truths of the Word to their own false principles, and so have adulterated them, they are angels of the abyss, called Abaddons and Apollyons, Revelation 9:11; by whom are signified those who destroy the Church by a total falsification of the Word; see the explanation inTHE APOCALYPSE REVEALED 440, and the memorable experience, THE APOCALYPSE REVEALED 566. But they answered: What of that? Are we not oracles on account of our knowledge of the mysteries of that doctrine? And from that doctrine do we not give answers as from a shrine? Wherefore, we are not Apollyons, but Apollos. I was indignant at these words and said If you are Apollos, you are also Leviathans. The chief among you are crooked Leviathans, the lesser are piercing Leviathans, whom God will visit with His hard and great sword; Isaiah 27:1. But they laughed at this. What is signified by being visited, and by perishing by the sword, may be seen in THE APOCALYPSE REVEALED 52.
