属天的奥秘 # 2577
2577. “并众人” 表由此衍生的真理, 即记忆真理和感官真理也是如此. 这从前面所述和整个思路清楚可知. 因为经上刚才说 “看哪, 这要给你在与你一起的所有人面前作遮眼的”, 这句话是指理性真理, 理性真理对属灵真理来说, 就像幔子; 现在经上又说 “并众人”, 这句话是指源于理性真理的更为低级的真理; 这些真理正是所谓的记忆真理和感官真理. 这些真理源于理性真理, 这一事实从流注的次序明显可知: 即内在事物流入外在事物, 或也可说, 高级事物流入低级事物, 反过来不行. 事实上, 表面上看, 次序似乎不是这样, 也就是说, 人似乎通过感官印象和记忆知识而变得理性, 但这是一个错觉. 主的良善不断经由人类理性能力流入进来, 在记忆中与知识相遇, 并将这些知识融入到自己里面. 这良善越将它们融入到自己里面, 并按适当秩序排列它们, 人就越变得理性. 被称为信之良善与真理的良善与真理也一样. 主的良善流入真理, 并将这些真理融入到自己里面. 这良善越能将这些真理融入到自己里面, 人就越变得属灵. 然而, 表面上看, 似乎是这些所谓的信之真理流入进来, 并使他变得属灵. 正是由于这种表象, 如今人们才过分推崇关乎信的真理, 而不去思考关乎仁的良善.
Isaiah 9
1
But there shall be no more gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time, he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; but in the latter time he has made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
2
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. Those who lived in the land of the shadow of death, on them the light has shined.
3
You have multiplied the nation. You have increased their joy. They rejoice before you according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
4
For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as in the day of Midian.
5
For all the armor of the armed man in the noisy battle, and the garments rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.
6
For to us a child is born. To us a son is given; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7
Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on the throne of David, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of Yahweh of Armies will perform this.
8
The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it falls on Israel.
9
All the people will know, including Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and in arrogance of heart,
10
"The bricks have fallen, but we will build with cut stone. The sycamore fig trees have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place."
11
Therefore Yahweh will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies,
12
The Syrians in front, and the Philistines behind; and they will devour Israel with open mouth. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
13
Yet the people have not turned to him who struck them, neither have they sought Yahweh of Armies.
14
Therefore Yahweh will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed, in one day.
15
The elder and the honorable man is the head, and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail.
16
For those who lead this people lead them astray; and those who are led by them are destroyed.
17
Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for everyone is profane and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
18
For wickedness burns like a fire. It devours the briers and thorns; yes, it kindles in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke.
19
Through the wrath of Yahweh of Armies, the land is burnt up; and the people are the fuel for the fire. No one spares his brother.
20
One will devour on the right hand, and be hungry; and he will eat on the left hand, and they will not be satisfied. Everyone will eat the flesh of his own arm:
21
Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
