出埃及记 11

Studie

   

1 耶和华摩西:我再使样的灾殃临到法老埃及,然他必容你们离开这地。他容你们去的时候,总要催逼你们都从这地出去。

2 你要传於百姓的耳中,叫他们女各向邻舍要器。

3 耶和华叫百姓在埃及人眼前蒙恩,并且摩西埃及法老臣仆,和百姓的眼中看为极

4 摩西耶和华这样:约到半夜,我必出去巡行埃及遍地。

5 凡在埃及,从宝座法老直到磨子的婢女所有的长子,以及一切头生的牲畜,都必

6 埃及必有哀号;从前没有这样的,後来也必没有。

7 至於以色列中,无论是牲畜,连也不敢向他们摇,好叫你们知道耶和华是将埃及人以色列人分别出来。

8 你这一切臣仆都要俯伏来见我,说:求你和跟从你的百姓都出去,然我要出去。於是,摩西气忿忿的离开法老,出去了。

9 耶和华摩西法老必不你们,使我的奇事在埃及多起来。

10 摩西亚伦法老面前行了这一切奇事;耶和华使法老的刚硬,不容以色列人出离他的

Morning

  
Two gorgeous red poppies -- one popped, and one just about to.

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.

10413. 'And they rose up in the morning of the next day' means arousal by the loves that are their own. This is clear from the meaning of 'rising up in the morning' as arousal by the loves that are their own; for 'the morning' means a state of love, and 'rising up' being raised to that state.

'The morning' means a state of love, see 5962, 8426, 8812, 10114, 10134.

'Rising up' means being raised, 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927, 3171, 4103.

But when the words 'rising up in the morning' apply to those whose interest lies in external things devoid of what is internal, and so when they apply to the evil, 'rising up' does not mean being raised but an arousal, and 'the morning' does not mean a state of heavenly love but a state of hellish love. When the evil enter that state it is morning for them, for then they enter into the delight of their life because now the loves that are truly theirs take charge of them. The difference between the good and the evil being raised to the state in which their own loves take charge is that the good do then go up whereas the evil go down. For the loves that govern the good are heavenly ones which raise those people and increase as they ascend to heaven, whereas the loves ruling the evil are hellish ones which pull these people down and increase as they descend into hell. From this it is evident that the words 'rising up in the morning' have a contrary meaning when they apply to the evil from what they do when they apply to the good. Also in the next life spirits and angels' states of love and faith change from one to another, just as the heat and light of times of day and seasons of the year do. When morning dawns on those in heaven a state exists which arouses heavenly loves and consequently brings them joy; but when it dawns on those in hell a state exists which arouses hellish loves and consequently brings them torment. For each of the latter then wishes to be the greatest and to possess all that belongs to another; and this gives rise to deep-seated hatred, savagery, and cruelty, which are meant by the fires of hell.
