59. It can be seen from this that the Divine is present in each and every constituent of the created universe, and consequently that the created universe is the work of the hands of Jehovah, as we are told in the Word, 1 meaning that it is the work of Divine love and Divine wisdom, for these are what are meant by the hands of Jehovah.
Moreover, even though the Divine is present in each and every constituent of the created universe, still there is nothing of the Divine in their being. For the created universe is not God, but from God. And because it is from God, it has in it His image, like the image of a person in a mirror, in which the person indeed appears, but which nevertheless has nothing of the person in it.
