Morning
Morning comes with the rising of the sun, and the sun -- which gives life to the earth with its warmth and light -- represents the Lord in His divinity, bringing spiritual life through love and wisdom. Thus, the morning represents the coming of the Lord into our lives, and all the things that flow from it: the love, joy and enlightenment He brings; the peace and tranquility of passing the spiritual obscurity of night; the anticipation of the learning and usefulness of a new day; and the awareness of The Lord's renewed presence.

属天的奥秘 # 7663
7663. “且把羊群牛群一同带去” 表那些处于内层良善的人和那些处于外层良善的人. 这从 “羊群” 和 “牛群” 的含义清楚可知: “羊群” 是指内层良善; “牛群” 是指外层良善 (参看5913, 6048节. 本节这些话, 即 “他们要和他们的孩子, 他们的老人, 儿子女儿, 以及羊群牛群同去” 在内义上表示属于教会的一切, 即属于外在教会和内在教会的一切. “孩子, 儿子和牛群” 表示外在教会的事物; “老人, 女儿和羊群” 表示内在教会的事物; 因为 “老人” 是指智慧; “女儿” 是指对良善的情感; “羊群” 是指良善本身或纯正的良善. 这些是属于内在教会的东西; 而 “孩子” 是指简单; “儿子” 是指对真理的情感; “牛群” 是指外在良善, 这些是属于外在教会的东西.
