263. The Lord is the Word. In its inmost sense the Word treats only of the Lord, and there are described in it all the states of the glorification of His Human, that is, of its union with the very Divine; and likewise all the states of the subjugation of the hells, and of the orderly arrangement of all things in them and in the heavens, nos. 2249, 7014. In that sense, consequently, the Lord's whole life in the world is described, and through it there is the Lord's continuous presence with the angels, no. 2523. Consequently the Lord alone is in the inmost of the Word, and the Divinity and holiness of the Word is thence, nos. 1873, 9357. The Lord's saying that the Scripture was fulfilled concerning Him, signifies that all the things which are contained in the inmost sense were fulfilled, no. 7933. The Word signifies the Divine Truth, nos. 4692, 5075, 9987. The Lord is the Word because He is the Divine Truth, no. 2533. The Lord also is the Word because the Word is from Him, and concerning Him, no. 2859. And because in the inmost sense it treats of the Lord alone, wherefore the Lord Himself is therein, nos. 1873, 9357. And because in each and all things of the Word there is the marriage of the Divine Good and the Divine Truth, nos. 3004, 5502. Jesus denotes the Divine Good, and Christ the Divine Truth, nos. 3004, 3005, 3009. The Divine Truth is the only reality, and that in which it is, which is from the Divine, the only substantiality, nos. 5272, 6880, 7004, 8200. Since the Divine Truth which proceeds from the Lord is light in heaven, and the Divine Good heat in heaven; and since all things in heaven exist therefrom, and the natural world exists through heaven, that is, through the spiritual world; it is evident that all things that have been created, were created out of the Divine Truth, that is, out of the Word, according to these words in John: "In the beginning was the Word; and the Word was with God, and God was the Word; and through it were all things made which were made; AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH;" nos. 2803, 2894, 5272, 7796. Further particulars concerning the creation of all things by the Divine Truth, thus, by the Lord, may be seen in the Work on Heaven and Hell, no. 137. And more fully in the two articles therein, nos. 116-125, and nos. 126-140. The conjunction of the Lord with man has place through the Word, by means of the internal sense, no. 10375. By means of each and all the things of the Word there is conjunction, and therefore the Word is more wonderful than any other writing nos. 10632-10634. Since the Word was written, the Lord speaks with men by means of it, no. 10290.
