父親
父亲在话语中的意思是指最里面的东西，在那些遵从主的命令的事情上，是指好的东西。在最高的意义上，父亲是指主自己，是创造者。在自然儿女的生成中，是父亲提供灵魂或最内在的生命容器，以及一种内在的遗传，母亲则提供灵魂用来形成身体的所有物质，再加上一种外在的遗传。在这个过程中，灵魂通过父亲来自主，而不是来自父亲，因为所有的生命都来自主。 聪明的人称主为他的父亲，称教会为他的母亲，因为他内心的爱来自主，但通过教会所教导的真理得到了形式和实际。那些因此而生出的东西，就是一个人属灵的 "儿女"。 在新约中，当谈到耶稣和天父的时候，指的是外在的表现，里面有神圣的本身作为灵魂。因为耶稣是由一个天然的母亲所生，所以他有一个天然的身体和天然的犹太人的遗传。在他的一生中，当他受到地狱的诱惑时，他慢慢地把他从母亲那里得来的一切，换成了他自己里面的东西，即天父。这样做，他使自己与他内心的父合而为一，所以他可以真正地说："我和我的父是一体的"。

住
在圣经时代，特别是旧约时代，许多人都是游牧民族，他们住在帐篷里，可以快速地打点、移动和重新搭建。当然，还有一些人住在房子里，一般是用石头和木头做的，相当永久。介于这两者之间的是更大、更精致的帐篷式结构，称为帐棚或住所；摩西为约柜所建的帐棚就是以这种模式为基础。 那么，"住 "在某个地方，意义重大--它比单纯的参观要多得多--但却不如住在那里永久。而事实上，在《圣经》中，住在某处，代表着进入那种属灵的状态，并与之交往，但不一定是永久的。 同时，"住处 "代表着激发居住在其中的人的各种爱，从最邪恶的--例如以赛亚书第9章中的 "那些住在死亡阴影里的人"--到会幕本身的崇高状态，会幕是作为主的住处而建造的，代表着天堂的所有细节。
居住
Inhabitants,' in Isaiah 26:9, signify the men of the church who are in good of doctrine, and thence in the good of life.
弟兄們
"兄弟 "在《圣经》中有两种用法，在现代语言中仍有体现。一种是指实际的血缘关系；另一种是以 "人的兄弟关系 "的方式，更广泛地指共同性。 第二种用法在圣经中是一致的，意思是指那些活在行善的爱中的人。这可以是不同层次的，从简单的顺服的喜乐，到服侍别人的慈善之爱，再到主自己的崇高之爱。但在这些爱中都是兄弟。 启示录解释》，第746页。 "这样的人之所以被称为弟兄，是因为他们都有一位父亲，即主；那些在爱主的好处上，在对邻舍的仁爱上，都是主的儿子。(S)既然是一位父亲的儿子，他们也是弟兄。而且，主父的大诫命，就是要他们彼此相爱，因此，是爱使他们成为弟兄......" 有血缘关系的兄弟，情况就比较复杂，其意义更多的是受兄弟的身份和故事背景的影响。一般来说，它们反映了行善的愿望和对如何行善的理解之间可能存在的统一。该隐和亚伯以及几对双胞胎都是如此。雅各布和以扫、犹大的儿子撒拉和法勒斯、约瑟的儿子以法莲和玛拿西；在每一个案例中，一个代表了行善的愿望，另一个代表了对真理的理解。 因为这种善与真的兄弟情谊，兄弟可以根据上下文的不同，代表任何一种。事实上，约瑟的兄弟们的意义在他的故事中不断变化，因为他们代表了犹太信仰的先驱的精神衰落和重生。...
回答
一般来说，"回答 "是指一种属灵的接受状态。归根结底，这意味着接受主，主不断地试图将真正的想法和美好的愿望灌输到我们的心灵和思想中。它也可以是在我们的外在部分接受自己的内在部分的引导--承诺使我们的行动跟随我们更深的信仰。 在圣经中，"回答 "经常与 "说 "搭配在一起。在这些情况下，一般来说，它表示的是一种感知的程度加上接受的程度。这意味着你不仅能接受从主那里临到你的东西，而且还能看到它，认识到其中的真理，并认识到这里面的真理，这将使你的生活更加美好。
