Studie

       

10 Tulinen virta juoksi ja kävi ulos hänen kasvoinsa edestä. Tuhannen kertaa tuhannen palveli häntä ja sata kertaa tuhannen tuhatta seisoi hänen edessänsä. Tuomio pidettiin, ja kirjat avattiin.

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.
