288. [verse 12] 'Saying with a great voice, Worthy is the slain Lamb to take power and riches and wisdom, and honour and glory' signifies confession out of the heart, that the Lord as to the Divine Human has Omnipotence, Omniscience, Divine Good and Divine Truth. 'Saying with a great voice' signifies confession out of the heart 'Thou art worthy' signifies that in Him are the things that follow; 'the Lamb' signifies the Lord as to the Divine Human; 'power' signifies the Divine power, which is Omnipotence; 'riches and wisdom' signify the Divine knowledge and wisdom, which are Omniscience; 'honour and glory' signify Divine Good and Divine Truth. That 'riches' signify the cognitions of good and truth, and thus knowledge, may be seen above (n. 206); consequently, when [predicated] of the Lord, they signify Omniscience; and that 'honour and glory', when [predicated] of the Lord, signify Divine Good and Divine Truth, [see] above n. 249.
