The heart means love. A good heart means love to the Lord and to the neighbor, while a hard or stony heart means the love of self or the world -- riches and things. When the psalmist asks the Lord to search his heart, he wants the Lord to see what it is that he loves. And we are what we love. What we eat may form our earthly body, but it's only temporary, what we love forms our spiritual body, beautiful or ugly as we have chosen. It's interesting to note that the first multi-cellular motion of our embryo is the pulsating that starts in a twist of blood vessel that is to become our heart, and the last motion of our natural body is our heartbeat. It is there for all of our natural life. And of course there is a beating heart in our spiritual bodies when we come to put them on.

7520. “让摩西向天撒去” 表这些虚假将被展示给天堂居民. 这从 “灰” 和 “向天撒去” 的含义清楚可知: “灰” 是指虚假, 如下文所述; “向天撒去” 是指展示给天堂居民. “撒” 表示展示, 这是显而易见的, 因为通过这种行为, 某种事物就变得可见. “天” 在内义上表示天使天堂. 至于这些话表示什么, 这一点从刚才所述 (参看7519节) 明显看出来, 即: 通过 “摩西” 所代表的从神来的真理, 那些进行侵扰之人的恶欲的虚假被展示并显明给天堂. 这使得天堂同在, 并由于天堂的同在, “起脓疱的疮” 所表示的恶人当中的那类事物就会显明. “灰或炉灰” 表示虚假, 这一点从所提到的另一种 “灰” 得以证实, 因为这些灰有类似的源头, 因而具有与灰或炉灰类似的含义 (如以赛亚书 44:15, 20; 58:5; 耶利米书 6:26; 以西结书 27:30; 28:18; 约拿书 3:6; 诗篇 102:9; 约伯记 2:8; 30:19).
