Jerusalem

  

Jerusalem, on Mount Zion, signifies the doctrine of love to the Lord, and how it governs your life. Jerusalem first comes to our attention in 2 Samuel 5, when King David takes the city from the Jebusites and makes it his capital. In the next chapter he brings the Ark of the Covenant there, and later it is where Solomon builds the temple, and his own palace. From then on Jerusalem is the center of worship of the Israelitish church. It is the place where the Lord was presented in the temple as a baby, where He tarried to talk to the priests at age twelve, where He cleansed the temple, had the last supper, was crucified and then rose. It is a central place in both the old and new Testaments. The city was built on Mount Zion, the highest point of the mountains of Judea. A city, in the Word, represents doctrine, the organized knowledge of the truths of the church. Mountains represent love of the Lord and the consequent worship. If you put those things together, Jerusalem on Mount Zion signifies the doctrine of love to the Lord, and how it governs your life. This is why David was led to make Jerusalem the most important city of the land, and why all worship was conducted there. And this is also why Jeroboam was condemned for introducing idol worship in Samaria. In the Book of Revelation, John's vision of the city New Jerusalem descending from God is a prophecy of a new dispensation of doctrine coming from the Lord.

3391. “非利士人的王亚比米勒从窗户里往外观看” 表关注含有认知的理性事物的信之教义. 这从 “亚比米勒” 的代表, 以及 “非利士人的王” 和 “窗户” 的含义清楚可知: “亚比米勒” 是指关注理性事物的信之教义 (2504, 2509, 2510, 2533节); “非利士人的王” 是指教义事物 (3365节); “窗户” 是指心智的理解力部分 (655, 658节), 因而是指内在视觉, 因为这在前面由 “窗户” 来表示. 因此, “从窗户里往外观看” 是指发觉通过内视所看到的事物. 一般来说, 这些事物属于外在人的认知. 但理性事物, 或也可说, 真理的表象, 就是属灵的真理 (3368节), 并非认知, 而是含有认知, 因为它们属于理性, 因而属于内在人, 正是内在人关注外在人的事物, 因而关注含有认知的真理. 由于认知属于属世人, 所以它们是接受理性事物的器皿. 因为神圣真理流入心智的理性部分, 并经由这理性部分流入属世部分, 在属世部分像许多物体所产生的形像映在镜中那样呈现自己 (参看3368节).

“窗户” 表构成内视, 也就是理解力的事物, 这些事物用 “智性概念” (intellectual concept) 这样一个术语来称谓. 这一点从前面 (655节) 所引用的圣言经文, 以及下列经文明显看出来. 约珥书:

他们蹦上城, 蹿上墙, 爬进房屋, 像盗贼由窗户进去. (约珥书 2:9)

这论及教会末日的邪恶与虚假. “爬进房屋” 表摧毁意愿的良善, “房屋” 表意愿的良善 (参看710, 2233, 2234节); “由窗户进去” 表摧毁真理及其属于理解力的认知. 西番雅书:

耶和华必伸手攻击北方, 毁灭亚述; 群畜, 就是各类的野兽, 必卧在其中. 鹈鹕和鱼鹰要在其石榴树上过夜; 在窗户内有鸣叫的声音. 门槛都必毁坏. 香柏木已经露出. (西番雅书 2:13-14)

这论及信之真理因推理, 就是 “亚述” 而毁灭 (119, 1186节). “在窗户内有鸣叫的声音” 表真理的荒凉, 因而理解真理的能力的荒凉.

士师记:

西西拉的母亲, 从窗户里往外观看, 从窗棂中呼叫, 他的战车为何迟迟不来? (士师记 5:28)

这些话是对底波拉和巴拉的预言, 与属灵教会的复兴有关. “从窗户里往外观看” 表通过那些否认真理, 从而摧毁属教会的事物之人的推理; 因为这类推理就是反面意义上的智性概念. 耶利米书:

那凭不义盖房, 凭不公建室, 有祸了! 他说, 我要为自己盖广大的房, 宽敞的室, 为它开窗户; 它以香柏木为墙板, 漆上丹红色. (耶利米书 22:13-14)

“凭不义盖房, 凭不公建室” 表通过非良善与真理之物构筑一个宗教体系, “公义和公平” 是指良善与真理 (参看2235节). “为它开窗户, 它以香柏木为墙板, 漆上丹红色” 表伪造智性和属灵的真理. 耶路撒冷圣殿的窗户无非代表诸如构成智性, 因而属灵概念的那类事物. 以西结书 (40:16, 22, 25, 33, 36; 41:16, 26) 所提到的新圣殿的窗户具有同样的含义, 因为谁都能看出, 该先知书所描述的新圣殿, 新耶路撒冷, 新地无非表示主的国度; 因此所提到的有关它们的细节就是诸如属于其国度的那类事物.
