247. And had no rest day and night, saying, Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty' signifies that the Word is continually teaching [the doctrine of] the Lord, and that He Only is God, and consequently that He Only is to be worshipped. That the animals 'had no rest day and night' signifies that the Word is teaching continually and without intermission, and that it is teaching what the animals say. [The words] are 'Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty' that is, that the Lord Only is God, and consequently that He Only is to be worshipped. 'Holy' thrice mentioned signifies this, for the triplication involves all the 'holy' in Him Only. That the Divine Trinity is in the Lord has been fully shown in THE DOCTRINE OF THE NEW JERUSALEM CONCERNING THE LORD, as also that the Word treats of the Only Lord, and that its sanctity is therefrom. That the Lord Only is holy may be seen above (n. 173).
