以西结书 8

Studie

   

1 第六初五日,我在家中;犹大的众长老在我面前。在那里耶和华的灵(原文是)降在我身上。

2 我观,见有形像彷佛的形状,从他腰以下的形状有,从他腰以上有光辉的形状,彷佛光耀的精金。

3 他伸出彷佛一只的样式,抓住我的一绺发,灵就将我举到中间,在的异象中,我到耶路撒冷的内院门口,在那里有触动主怒偶像的位,就是惹动忌邪的。

4 谁知,在那里有以色列的荣耀,形状与我在平原所见的一样。

5 神对我:人子啊,你举目向北观看。我就举目向北观看,见祭坛边,在门口有这惹忌邪的偶像;

6 又对我:人子啊,以色列家所行的,就是在此行这可憎的事,使我远离我的圣所,你见了麽?你还要见另有可憎的事。

7 他领我到院口。我观,见上有个窟窿。

8 他对我:人子啊,你要挖。我,见有

9 :你进去,他们在这里所行可憎的恶事。

10 我进去一,谁知,在四面上画着各样爬物和可憎的走,并以色列家一切的偶像

11 在这些像前有以色列家的七十个长老站立,沙番的儿子雅撒尼亚也站在其中。各拿香炉,烟云的香气上腾。

12 他对我子啊,以色列家的长老中在各画像里所行的,你见了麽?他们常耶和华不见我们耶和华已经离弃这

13 他又:你还要见他们另外行可憎的事。

14 他领我到耶和华殿外院朝门口。谁知,在那里有妇女坐着,为搭模斯哭泣。

15 他对我:人子啊,你见了麽?你还要见比这更可憎的事。

16 他又领我到耶和华殿的内院。谁知,在耶和华的殿口、廊子和祭坛中间,约有二十五个背向耶和华的殿,面向东方拜日头。

17 他对我:人子啊,你见了麽?犹大家在此行这可憎的事还算为小麽?他们在这遍行强暴,再三惹我发怒,他们手拿枝条举向鼻前。

18 因此,我也要以忿怒行事,我眼必不顾惜,也不可怜他们;他们虽向我耳中声呼求,我还是不

Heaven and Hell # 122

122. To angels, our world's sun looks like something murky opposite to heaven's sun, and our moon like something dim opposite to heaven's moon, consistently. This is because our world's fire corresponds to a love for ourselves, and the light it emits corresponds to the distortion that arises from that love. Love for oneself is the absolute opposite of divine love, and the distortion that arises from it is the absolute opposite of divine truth. Anything that is opposed to divine love and truth is darkness to angels.

This is why in the Word, worshiping our world's sun and moon and bowing down to them means loving oneself and the distortion that arises from self-love, and why these are to be abolished (Deuteronomy 4:19; 17:3-5; 18:0, Jeremiah 8:1-2, Ezekiel 8:15-16, 18, Revelation 16:8, Matthew 13:6). 1

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. [Swedenborg's footnote] Our world's sun is not visible to angels, but instead something dim behind them, opposite to heaven's sun or the Lord: 7078, 9755. In its opposite meaning, the sun means love for oneself: 2441; and in this meaning "worshiping the sun" means worshiping things that are contrary to heavenly love, or to the Lord: 2441, 10584. For people in the hells, heaven's sun is darkness: 2441.
