以西結書 41

Studie

   

1 我到殿那裡量牆柱:這面厚肘,那面厚肘,寬窄與會幕相同。

2 口寬肘。兩旁,這邊五肘,那邊五肘。他量殿長四十肘,寬二十肘。

3 他到內殿量牆柱,各厚肘。口寬肘,兩旁各寬肘。

4 他量內殿,長二十肘,寬二十肘。他對我:這是至所。

5 他又量殿,厚肘;圍著殿有旁,各寬肘。

6 層,層疊而上,每層排列三十間。旁的梁木擱在殿坎上,免得插入殿

7 這圍殿的旁越高越寬;因旁圍殿懸疊而上,所以越上越寬,從下一層,由中一層,到上一層。

8 我又見圍著殿有月臺。旁根基足一竿,就是大肘。

9 的外厚五肘。旁之外還有餘地。

10 在旁與對面的房屋中間有空地,寬二十肘。

11 旁屋的都向餘地:向北向南。周圍的餘地寬五肘。

12 在西面空地之後有房子,寬七十肘,長九十肘,四圍厚五肘。

13 這樣,他量殿,長一肘,又量空地和那房子並牆,共長一肘。

14 殿的前面和兩旁的空地,寬一肘。

15 他量空地面的那房子,並兩旁的樓廊,共長一肘。

16 內殿、院廊、門檻、嚴緊的窗櫺,並對著門檻的層樓廊,從到窗櫺(窗櫺都有蔽子),

17 直到以上,就是到內殿和外殿內外四圍,都按尺寸用木板遮蔽。

18 牆上雕刻基路伯和棕樹。每基路伯中間有一棵棕樹,每基路伯臉。

19 這邊有人臉向著棕樹,那邊有獅子臉向著棕樹,殿內周圍都是如此。

20 以上,都有基路伯和棕樹。殿就是這樣。

21 殿的門柱是方的。至所的前面,形狀和殿的形狀一樣。

22 頭做的,肘,長肘。角和面,並四旁,頭做的。他對我:這是耶和華面前的桌子

23 殿和至所的各有兩扇。

24 每扇分兩扇,這兩扇是摺疊的。這邊分兩扇,那邊也分兩扇。

25 殿的扇上雕刻基路伯和棕,與刻在牆上的一般。在外頭廊前有檻。

26 廊這邊那邊都有嚴緊的窗櫺和棕樹;殿的旁和檻就是這樣。

After

Instead, spiritual reality is structured on the basis of spiritual state, or the loves and thoughts of angels. These loves and thoughts connect in chains of cause and effect, which angels experience much as we experience time. One thought flows into another on the spiritual level, and angels sense that progression the same way we sense the progression of one moment flowing into another. And when angels have thoughts and feelings that are similar, they experience a closeness that is very much the same as our experience of physical closeness; their idea of “space” is the variation in thoughts and affections held by spirits throughout the spiritual world.When the Bible describes something as “after” something else, then, the spiritual meaning has to do with the progression of spiritual states; it is a new spiritual state emerging from the one before it. And since higher states flow into lower states, the things coming “after” tend to be the lower, more external ones. For instance, the deep, internal desire to be good to others flows of its own accord into specific ideas of specific good things we can do. Those specific ideas, then, would be “after” the desire to be good.According to Swedenborg, time and space don’t exist in spiritual reality; they are purely natural things that exist only on the physical plane. This means that one spiritual thing can’t happen “after” another spiritual thing in time, because there is no time. And one spiritual thing can’t follow “after” another in space because there is no space.
