1793. That the “Lord Jehovih” is the internal man relatively to the interior, is evident from what has been said concerning the Lord’s internal man, namely, that it was Jehovah Himself, from whom He was conceived, and whose only Son He was, and to whom the Lord’s Human became united after He had by the combats of temptation purified the maternal human, that is, that which He derived from the mother. The appellation “Lord Jehovih” occurs very often in the Word; indeed, as often as Jehovah is called “Lord” He is not called “Lord Jehovah,” but “Lord Jehovih,” and this especially where temptations are treated of.

[2] As in Isaiah:

Behold, the Lord Jehovih cometh in strength, and His arm shall rule for Him; behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him. He shall feed His flock like a shepherd, He shall gather the lambs in His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and shall lead those that give suck (Isaiah 40:10-11),

where “the Lord Jehovih cometh in strength,” relates to His victory in the combats of temptations; “His arm shall rule for Him,” means that it is from His own power. What the reward is that is mentioned in the first verse of this chapter is here declared, namely, that it is the salvation of the whole human race, that is to say, “He feeds His flock like a shepherd, gathers the lambs in His arm, carries them in His bosom, and leads those that give suck;” all of which things pertain to inmost or Divine love.

[3] Again in the same Prophet:

The Lord Jehovih hath opened Mine ear, and I was not rebellious; I have not turned away backward. I gave My body to the smiters, and My cheeks to them that plucked off the hair; I hid not My face from shame and spitting; and the Lord Jehovih will help Me; behold the Lord Jehovih will help Me (Isaiah 50:5-7, 9),

where temptations are manifestly treated of. Besides other passages.
