196. 'And My new Name' signifies the worship of the Only Lord with new things that have not been in the former Church. That by the Lord's 'Name' is signified everything by means of which He is worshipped may be seen above (n. 81). Here therefore [it signifies] the worship of the Only Lord with new things that were not in the former Church. That in the New Church there is worship of the Only Lord is plain from chap. xxi 9, 10, where that Church is called THE LAMB'S WIFE. That there are new things in that Church is plain from chap. xxi 5, where it is said, 'BEHOLD I AM MAKING ALL THINGS NEW'. These [new] things are therefore signified by 'My new Name', which will be written upon them.
