四
圣经中的数字 "四 "代表着事物被联系在一起或连接在一起。这部分是因为四是二乘以二,而二代表了我们对美好的愿望和对真理的理解之间的最终联系。我们也可以从大多数建筑都是长方形的事实中看到,四条边连接在一起,成为一个整体。我们也把方向分为北、东、南、西四个方向,谈到某件事情的 "四角 "就是指全部。所以我们的特殊思维很自然地把四条边看成是连成一个整体。

命令
命令是指下达必须做某事的命令,是针对个人或团体的。这是一种命令,而不是建议。 指挥可以有两种方式,或者是出于两种不同的动机。它常常出现在一个组织中,用来强行执行组织工作所必需的命令,如企业、政府或军队,它可以是合法的,或者在家庭中被父母用来维持家庭的秩序。但也可能被一个喜欢权力的人利用,在通过某种方式得到权力后,喜欢把自己的意志强加给别人,以获得私欲的满足。 所以一个动机是爱用,或爱善,另一个动机是为了爱自己,或爱财物。 主从他无限的爱出发,给了人类诫命,因为他就是秩序本身,他知道我们的幸福到永远取决于我们接受他的创造秩序,而这最终是唯一存在的秩序。
