2840. Verses 15-16. And the angel of Jehovah called unto Abraham a second time out of heaven, and said, By Myself have I sworn, saith Jehovah, because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only one. “The angel of Jehovah called unto Abraham a second time out of heaven,” signifies still greater consolation of the Lord from the Divine; “and said, By Myself have I sworn, saith Jehovah,” signifies irrevocable confirmation from the Divine; “because thou hast done this thing,” signifies the thing accomplished; “and hast not kept back thy son, thine only one,” signifies the unition of the Human with the Divine by the utmost of temptation.
