Apocalypse Revealed (Whitehead) n. 665

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

665. Verse 4. Who shall not fear Thee, O Lord, and glorify Thy name? signifies that He alone is to be loved and worshiped. "To fear God" signifies to love Him; and "to glorify His name" signifies to worship Him. That He alone is to be loved and worshiped is meant by "who shall not," and by "because Thou alone art holy." That to fear God is to love Him, by fearing to do what is contrary to Him, and that such fear is in all love, see above (n. 527, 628). That "to glorify His name" is to worship Him is because by "the name" of Jehovah is signified everything by which He is worshiped (n. 81), and "to glorify" signifies to acknowledge and confess.
