When the Bible speaks of "Jehovah," it is representing love itself, the inmost love that is the essence of the Lord. That divine love is one, whole and complete in itself, and Jehovah also is one, a name applied only to the Lord. The divine love expresses itself in the form of wisdom. Love, then, is the essence of God -- His inmost. Wisdom -- the loving understanding of how to put love into action -- is slightly more external, giving love a way to express itself. Wisdom, however, is expressed in a great variety of thoughts and ideas, what the Writings collectively call divine truth. There are also many imaginary gods, and sometimes angels and people can be called gods (the Lord said Moses would be as a god to Aaron). So when the Bible calls the Lord "God," it is in most cases referring to divine truth. In other cases, "God" has reference to what is called the divine human. The case there is this: As human beings, we cannot engage the Lord directly as divine love. It is too powerful and too pure. Instead, we have to approach Him by understanding Him through divine truth. Divine truth, then, is the Lord in human form, a form we can approach and understand. Thus "God" is also used in reference to this human aspect, because it is an expression of truth.

7605. 'And the wheat and the spelt' means the good of the interior natural and its truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'the wheat' as the good of love and charity, dealt with in 3941, and - since it is a superior grain to barley - as the good of the interior natural; and from the meaning of 'the spelt' as the truth of the interior natural that goes with the good meant by 'the wheat'. One may recognize that 'the spelt' means this truth from the consideration that when the Word speaks of good it also speaks of truth. It does so because the heavenly marriage, which is the marriage of goodness and truth, resides in each detail of the Word. Indeed it does so because the union of the Divine itself and the Divine Human within the Lord, to which union the marriage of goodness and truth in heaven corresponds, resides in its highest sense; and that being so, the Lord's Divine itself and His Divine Human are the innermost being of the Word, see 683, 797, 801, 2173, 2516, 2618, 2712, 2803, 3132, 4138 (end), 5502, 6179, 6343. From this it is evident that 'the spelt' means the truth that goes with the good meant by 'the wheat'.
