79. Neither did the learned spirits understand what I had said about the Lord in the world being Divine Truth and afterwards Divine Good, then becoming one with the Father. It was therefore granted to explain it as follows. The Divine Truth is the same with the Divine Intelligence and Wisdom, for the understanding is from truths. Also while man is being regenerated by the Lord, his understanding is formed from truths, and to the extent that it is formed; so is he intelligent. Further, Divine Good is Divine Love, and love is will. Wherefore, so far as man is being regenerated from truths which form the understanding, and those become of good that is to say of love, so far is he regenerated. Concerning the Lord, He was thus far glorified or made Divine because from the Divine Itself. The reason for the mention of Divine Truth and Divine Good is because reference is to God, that He is Good Itself and Truth Itself. This is so, since all the good of love and truth of intelligence with angels and with mankind come from Him.
