6882. 'I Am has sent me to you' means that the Divine Coming-into-Being will be in it, in that Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'I Am' as the Divine itself and the Divine Human, dealt with just above in 6880; from the representation of 'Moses' as the Lord in respect of the Divine Law, that is, of Divine Truth (regarding Divine Truth, that it is the Coming-into-Being from the Divine Human because it emanates from the Divine Human, see again above in 6880); and from the meaning of 'being sent to them' as the promise that it will be in the spiritual Church, dealt with in 6876. This is the instruction that is provided second. The instruction provided first is that God, from whom all things exist, should be acknowledged; the second is that Divine Truth, which emanates from Him, should be accepted.
