伯特利
当雅各做了一个著名的梦，梦见一个通向天堂的楼梯，他给这个地方起了个名字叫 "贝瑟尔"，希伯来语的意思是 "上帝的家" 这个字面的意义反映在属灵的意义上。书中告诉我们，"贝瑟尔 "代表了我们对主神圣的爱的认识和理解，那是他对我们所有人的完美的爱，那是他的本质。当我们知道了主的爱，对主的爱有了一定的了解，那就使它在我们里面有了一个 "房子"，让它在我们里面生长，影响我们自己的爱。 在旧约中，"贝瑟尔 "在后来的《旧约》中有相反的含义，在耶罗波安在那里设立金牛犊，使之成为偶像崇拜的中心之后。然后，它代表了从邪爱中产生的崇拜。

祭壇
圣经中提到的第一个祭坛是挪亚从方舟中出来后所建造的。在那祭坛上，他把洁净的动物献给了耶和华。山代表着耶和华，因为山是高高在上，我们在与主 "说话 "的时候，必须把自己的思想抬高到属世的事物之上。祭坛是一座小小的人造山，但当用在敬拜的时候，就能唤起这种思想的升起，火和烟被送上来，象征性地送上主。祭坛大多是用未切割的石头做成的。石头代表真理，未被人塑造的石头代表真理，未被人塑造的石头代表来自于道的真理，未被掺杂的真理。清净的兽代表着善事，代表着因为正确而做的慈善行为，而清净的鸟代表着对教义和行为的思考，代表着什么是正确的。所以呈现这些东西，就是承认我们从主那里得到了这些东西，并为这些东西感谢祂。 在以色列人的会幕中，燔祭坛代表善的承认，香坛代表真理。因此，这个大一点的祭坛在门外，是用黄铜做的，代表自然的善，而香坛是用金子做的，代表对耶和华的爱，从耶和华那里来的是真理。

之前
在大多数情况下，"之前 "的意思很直接，既是评估相对时间的一种方式，也是 "在某人面前 "的意思。但是，当它与主有关的时候，它的意义就更深了。在 "在 "主面前 "意味着不只是在主的同在，还意味着从他那里接受对善的渴望和对真理的理解，并按着它们生活。当用在与主有关的时间评价时，"在 "的意思是 "从永恒开始"，指的是一种属灵的状态，而不是我们所经历的时间。

後
按照瑞典博格的说法，时间和空间不存在于精神现实中，它们是纯粹的自然事物，只存在于物质层面。这就意味着，一个精神性的东西不可能在时间上的另一个精神性的东西 "之后 "发生，因为没有时间。而一个精神性的东西也不可能在空间上 "追随 "另一个精神性的东西，因为没有空间。 相反，灵性的现实是建立在灵性状态的基础上，或天使的爱和思想。这些爱和思想以因果链的方式连接在一起，天使们的体验就像我们体验时间一样；一个思想在精神层面上流向另一个思想，而天使们感觉到这种进步，就像我们感觉到一个时刻流向另一个时刻的进步一样。当天使有类似的思想和感觉时，他们体验到的亲近感和我们对肉体亲近感的体验是非常相同的；他们对 "空间 "的概念是整个精神世界中的灵魂所拥有的思想和情感的变化。 当《圣经》将某件事情描述为 "后边 "的东西时，那么，属灵的意义就与属灵状态的递进有关；它是在前边的东西基础上产生的新的属灵状态。由于较高的状态会流入较低的状态，所以 "之后 "的东西往往是较低的、较外在的状态。例如，内心深处对他人的善的渴望，会自动地流向具体的想法，即我们可以做的具体的善事。那么，这些具体的想法，就会 "在 "善的欲望之后。
