10365. “那灵魂必从他民中剪除” 表与那人同住的, 不是天堂和教会, 而是地狱. 这从 “从他民中剪除” 的含义清楚可知. “从他民中剪除” 是指与教会的分离, 以及属灵的死亡 (参看10288节); 因此, 与他同住的, 不是教会, 而是地狱. 当教会不与一个人同住时, 天堂也不会与他同住; 因为天堂与教会行如一体. 对一个有教会存在于其中的人来说, 天堂流入, 也就是主经由天堂流入, 并构成那里的教会. 正因如此, 当教会不与一个人同住时, 地狱就会与他同住; 所以 “从他民中剪除” 也表示这一点.

As with many common verbs, the meaning of “to say” in the Bible is highly dependent on context. Who is speaking? Who is hearing? What is it about? Is it a command, a message, an apology, instruction? All these things enter into the meaning of “say.” In general, though, “saying” has to do with sharing truth at various levels -- from the most exalted power people can have to perceive the Lord's desires directly to the most basic of orders issued to people at their lowest.
