1187. “建造尼尼微, 利河伯城, 迦拉” 表他们以此为自己制定信之教义. 这从稍后有关 “尼尼微, 利河伯, 迦拉” 含义的论述, 以及圣言中 “城” 的含义清楚可知, “城” 表教义, 无论是正宗的, 还是异端的, 如前所述 (402节).

'Word,' as in Isaiah 9:8, signifies the doctrine of internal and external worship. 'Word,' as in Psalms 119:6-17, stands for doctrine in general.

'The Word,' as in Psalms 147:18, signifies divine good united with divine truth.

The whole Word is nothing but the doctrine of love towards the Lord, and love towards our neighbor, as in Matthew 22.
