4582. And poured oil thereon. That this signifies the Divine good of love, is evident from the signification of “oil,” as being the Divine good of love (see n. 886, 3728). By “setting up a pillar of stone and pouring out a drink-offering and oil upon it,” is described in the internal sense the process of advance from truth which is in the ultimate, to interior truth and good, and at last to the good of love. For the “pillar of stone” is truth in the ultimate of order (n. 4580), the “drink-offering” is interior truth and good (n. 4581), and the “oil” is the good of love. Such was the Lord’s process of advancement in making His Human Divine, and such also is that undergone by man when by regeneration the Lord makes him celestial.
