Daniel 7:4

Studie

       

4 Ensimäinen niinkuin jalopeura, jolla olivat kotkan siivet. Ja minä katsoin siihen asti, että siivet temmattiin pois häneltä ja hän otettiin ylös maasta, ja seisoi jaloillansa niinkuin ihminen, ja hänelle annettiin ihmisen sydän.

665. 15:4 "Who does not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name?" This symbolically means that the Lord alone is to be loved and worshiped.

To fear God means, symbolically, to love Him, and to glorify His name means, symbolically, to worship Him. That He alone is to be loved and worshiped is meant by the phrase, "Who does not?" and by the statement, "For You alone are holy."

To be shown that to fear God is to love Him, fearing to act against Him, and that this fear is present in every love, see nos. 527, 628 above.

To glorify His name is to worship Him because the name of Jehovah symbolizes everything by which He is worshiped (no. 81), and to glorify means, symbolically, to acknowledge and confess.
