The Lord, in the simplest terms, is love itself expressed as wisdom itself. In philosophic terms, love is the Lord's substance and wisdom is His form. Of course, we feel the Lord's love and hear His wisdom in many different ways, depending on our state in life and how receptive we are. That's why the Lord has so many different names in the Bible, and is referred to in so many different ways.

9687. 'From violet and purple and twice-dyed scarlet and fine twined linen' means composed of the good of charity and faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'violet', 'purple', 'twice-dyed scarlet', and 'fine twined linen', where the veil, meaning the uniting intermediary between the inmost and middle heavens, is the subject. There these materials mean forms of the good of love and faith, dealt with in 9671; here however they mean forms of the good of charity and faith since the subject is the screen, by which the uniting intermediary between the second and lowest heavens is meant, 9686. For in the inmost heaven the good of love to the Lord is predominant, but in the middle heaven the good of charity towards the neighbour, and in the lowest heaven the good of faith. So it is that 'violet', 'purple', 'twice-dyed scarlet', and 'fine twined linen' mean the forms of good predominant in those heavens.
