In the Word, “light” in the highest sense represents Divine Truth: knowledge, ideas, understanding that come to us from the Lord. In lesser degrees -- the light of a lamp, the light of the moon and so forth -- it represents lower levels of truth, ideas and understanding drawn from more earthly sources. Also, the sun in the Word represents the Lord, with its heat representing the divine love and its light representing the divine wisdom. That wisdom flows into our minds and enters our lives in the form of truth -- things we can know and ponder that lead us and help us to be good people. This connection between light and thought is one of many spiritual/natural relationships that's embedded in our common language. People “see the light” when they understand something; we try to “shed some light” by bringing new thoughts to a difficult question; people are “enlightened” when they get new information or a more complete understanding of something. And a light bulb in a cartoon represents an idea!

8999. “主人若以诡诈待她” 表这将违反神性秩序的律法. 这从 “以诡诈待” 的含义清楚可知, “以诡诈待” 是指违反神之真理, 或也可说, 违反神性秩序的律法. “以诡诈待” 的这层含义从刚才引用的章节 (8998节) 明显看出来. 在天上, 神性秩序的律法是真理, 因为神性秩序起源于从主发出的神性真理 (8700, 8988节). “以诡诈待” 在圣言中是一种反复出现的说话形式, 在内义上表示违反天上的真理和良善, 或也可说, 违反神性秩序 (如以赛亚书 21:2; 33:1; 48:8等; 耶利米书 3:20; 5:11; 12:1, 6; 何西阿书 5:7; 6:7; 玛拉基书 2:10, 11, 14, 15; 诗篇 78:57; 119:158).
