Zebulon

  

Zebulon's name comes from a Hebrew root word meaning habitation, or "dwelling together". In Genesis 30:19, 22 and Genesis 49:13, 'Zebulon' signifies the way that good and truth dwell together in a heavenly marriage. See Arcana Coelestia 3960, 3961.

In the supreme sense, Zebulon signifies the union of the essential divinity and the divine humanity in the Lord. In a spiritual sense, he signifies the marriage of good and truth in people who are in heaven and in the church. In the natural sense, he stands for conjugial love itself. See Revelation 7:8.

There's an interesting nuance, too, about the terms used in Genesis 49:13. Arcana Coelestia 6383 says, "'Zebulun' has reference to those within the Church who use the facts they know to draw inferences about spiritual truths and thereby strengthen their grasp of those truths." The passage goes on to talk about an affirmative attitude, supporting spiritual truths with natural ones. It's pretty interesting!
