9495. 'And two rings shall be on one side of it and two rings on the other side of it' means the marriage of truth to good and of good to truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'rings' as the joining together or marriage of good and truth, as above in 9493, a marriage that is reciprocal, that is to say, one in which truth is joined to good and good is joined to truth. Some idea of this marriage may be gained from the way in which heart and lungs are joined together. The heart joins itself to the lungs, and the lungs in turn join themselves to the heart; for the heart sends blood out from the right side of itself into the lungs, and the lungs in turn send it back into the heart, but into its left side, and so on unceasingly. Analogous to all this is the marriage of good to truth and of truth to good in heaven, where also the heart corresponds to good belonging to love, while the lungs correspond to truth belonging to faith, 3883-3896, 9300. The reason why two rings were to be on one side and two rings on the other side was that 'two' means a joining together, 1686, 5194, 8423, and 'side' means good which must be joined to truth, in order that the power referred to in the next paragraph may be derived from it.

8304. 'Doing wonders?' means that He is the Source of all the means through which comes power. This is clear from the meaning of 'wonders', or miracles, as the means used by Divine power, dealt with in 6910. The reason why 'wonders' are the means used by Divine power is that by them the people were led to believe that Jehovah was the highest of Gods, indeed that there was no God besides Him, and therefore that He alone was to be worshipped. And those who received this truth were afterwards introduced to truths concerned with the worship of Him, which are the means of power. For all power in the spiritual sense resides in truths which come from the Divine, 3091, 6344, 6423, 6948, 8200. Power in the spiritual sense consists in putting to flight and casting away from oneself the hellish crew, which is done solely by means of truths. This then is why 'doing wonders' means that the Lord is the Source of all the means through which comes power.

The means used by Divine power are meant by 'wonders' also in David,

Sing to Jehovah, make melody to Him; meditate on all His wonders. Glory in His holy name. Seek Jehovah and His strength; seek His face continually. Remember His wonders, His marvels, and the judgements of His mouth. Psalms 105:1-5.

The possession of all power by the truths of faith received from the Lord is evident from the Lord's words to Peter,

I tell you, You are Peter, and on this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 16:18-19.

'Peter' here represents faith, 'rock' in the Word is a sign of faith, and 'key' is used to mean power, see Preface to Genesis 22

, and also 4738 (end), 6344 (end).
