4089. 'I am the God of Bethel' means the Divine within the Natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'Bethel' as good as it exists within the ultimate degree of order, dealt with in 3729, and consequently within the natural, for the natural is the ultimate degree of order, it being that by which celestial and spiritual things are bounded. From this it is evident that 'the God of Bethel' means the Divine within the Natural. Since Bethel means good within the natural it also means cognitions of celestial things within it, for these are cognitions of good.
