4520. I and my house. That this signifies as to truth and good, is evident from the representation of Jacob, who here is “I,” as being the church, specifically the church as to truth, may be inferred from what has been shown in regard to the representation of Jacob (n. 3305, 3509, 3525, 3546, 3576, 3599, 3775, 4234, 4337), namely, that he represents the Lord as to Divine truth natural. Now with regard to representations, the man who in the supreme sense represents the Lord as to the Divine truth of the natural, also represents the Lord’s kingdom as to Divine truth therein, and consequently the church as to truth, for these correspond to each other, because all the truth that is in His kingdom and church is the Lord’s. And that the church as to good is signified by “my house,” is evident from the signification of a “house,” as being the church as to good (n. 2233-2234, 3720).
