319. (v. 7) And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him who sat upon the throne. That this signifies that these things are from His Divine Human, appears from the signification of the Lamb who took the book out of the right hand of Him who sat upon the throne, as denoting the Lord as to the Divine Human (concerning which see above, n. 314). That by the right hand .of Him who sat upon the throne is meant the Lord as to omnipotence and omniscience, see also above, n. 297, 298. Hence it is that by, He came and took the book out of the right hand of Him that sat upon the throne, is signified that those things are from the Divine Human. That omnipotence and omniscience are denoted, is also because the subject treated of is concerning them, as is clear from the preceding words, where it is said that the Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes. By the seven horns are signified omnipotence, and by the seven eyes omniscience (as may be seen just above, n. 316, 317), and by the Lamb the Divine Human; n. 381. That omnipotence and omniscience belong to the Lord's Divine Human, is evident from what has been said and shown above (n. 10, 26, 32, 49, 52, 63, 77, 82, 97, 113, 114, 135, 137, 151, 178, 200, 205 end, 209, 254, 297, 309).
