372. Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving. This symbolizes the Lord's spiritual Divine attributes.

All acknowledgment and confession of the Lord in general includes these two affirmations, that He is Divine love itself and Divine wisdom itself, and therefore that the love possessed by people in heaven and in the church, and everything connected with it, comes from Him, and likewise their wisdom and everything connected with it.

Whatever emanates from the Lord's Divine love, this we call His celestial Divinity; and whatever emanates from His Divine wisdom, this we call his spiritual Divinity.

The Lord's spiritual Divinity is meant by glory, wisdom and thanksgiving, and His celestial Divinity by honor, power and might, which follow next. Blessing, which is mentioned first, symbolizes both of these (see no. 289 above).

Glory is predicated of Divine truth, thus of spiritual Divinity (no. 249). Wisdom is predicated of it also, plainly. Thanksgiving too, because it is prompted by Divine truth; for a person gives thanks because of it and by expressions of it.
